Iran The Culture describes how daily prayer, religious holidays, and annual pilgrimages to holy sites keep Islam alive in the hearts of Iranians. The country's ancient arts are also celebrated including carpet making, calligraphy, and tilework. Other topics include: the creation of a Muslim state; Shi'i, Sunni and Sufi religions; holidays such as Ramadan, Ashura, Nawruz, and Islamic Republic Day; the rebirth of dance and music; pottery, painting, and carpet weaving; and impressive public squares, palaces, and mosques. |
