Abstract
In Iranian culture, rituals and celebrations have always played a key role in strengthening social solidarity and cultural identity. Iranians have reproduced their social, historical, and cultural values through these ceremonies. One of the most important of these rituals is the Nowruz celebration, which has its roots in ancient Iranian mythology and traditions and is known for its special customs and traditions. This study examined the role of the Nowruz celebration in strengthening Iran's national identity. The research method was a combination of qualitative and quantitative approaches and was conducted using library studies and field research. The statistical population consisted of 85 experts in this field who were purposefully selected, and the data from the questionnaire was analyzed using SPSS software. The results of the study show that Nowruz helps to strengthen national identity by increasing the sense of belonging to society, social cohesion, and a sense of membership. From a historical perspective, this celebration strengthens the historical identity of Iranians by highlighting pride in the past and defining historical periods. From a geographical perspective, Nowruz strengthens the sense of national unity and increases a positive attitude towards the land of Iran. From a cultural perspective, it also helps to perpetuate Iranian identity by emphasizing the preservation of cultural heritage and traditions. The findings show that Nowruz is not only a cultural ritual, but also a fundamental factor in establishing and promoting Iran's national identity.
