The Assyrian New Year is the most important national festival handed down from our remote past of history. The Assyrians of today all over the world celebrate this day as their national festival. Most New Year celebrations focus on family and friends. It is a time to reflect on the past and envisage a future; to remember the Assyrians who are still suffering from persecution, murder, kidnap, bombing, blackmail, and forced immigration, all this in order to uproot them from their original homeland-Assyria.
