HR 561 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Commemorating the celebration of Nowruz on March 21, 2025.

This resolution by the Texas House of Representatives commemorates Nowruz (the Persian New Year) celebrated on March 21, 2025, by Texans and diverse faith communities including Muslims, Baha'is, and Zoroastrians. It recognizes Nowruz's cultural significance as a spring celebration with ancient Persian origins, observed through traditions like the Haft Seen table and spring cleaning. The resolution expresses the House's well-wishes for a joyful celebration but has no legal effect or binding requirements. It is a symbolic gesture of recognition, not a policy change affecting any group.
