The table set for Nowruz, the Haft-Seen table, is a significant aspect of the celebration and holds deep symbolic meaning. The Haft-Seen table typically includes seven items, all starting with the Persian letter "seen" (س), hence the name "Haft-Seen" (Seven S's). Each item represents a different aspect of life, nature, or hope for the new year. While the specific items may vary slightly depending on regional customs and personal preferences, common elements include:

1. Sabzeh (سبزه): Sprouted wheat, barley, or lentils symbolize the rebirth and renewal associated with spring.
2. Samanu (سمنو) is a sweet pudding made from germinated wheat, symbolizing affluence, fertility, and sweetness in life.
3. Senjed (سنجد): Dried oleaster fruit, representing love and affection.
4. Seer (سیر): Garlic, symbolizing medicine and good health.
5. Seeb (سیب): Apples symbolize beauty, health, and natural grace.
6. Somāq (سماق): Sumac berries, symbolizing the color of sunrise and the triumph of light over darkness.
7. Serkeh (سرکه): Vinegar symbolizes age and patience, as well as the wisdom gained over time.

In addition to these seven items, the Haft-Seen table may include other symbolic objects or decorations, such as a mirror (symbolizing reflection and self-reflection), goldfish (representing life and the sign of Pisces, which ends with Nowruz), colored eggs (symbolizing fertility and new life), and candles or a lamp (symbolizing enlightenment and the triumph of light over darkness).

The Haft-Seen table is a focal point for family gatherings and is typically displayed in homes during the Nowruz celebration. It adds to the festive atmosphere and reminds us of the values, hopes, and aspirations associated with the arrival of the new year. Each item on the table carries its significance, collectively reflecting the themes of renewal, abundance, love, health, and spiritual growth central to Nowruz's spirit.
