Naw-Ruz Celebrations...

The Schoot family celebrated Naw-Ruz on a few different occasions this week.

First of course was the "official" Naw-Ruz Holy Day celebration where all staff, pilgrims and other visitors at the World Centre attended a programme with some readings, prayers, and devotions. Thanks to auntie Vanysha for this beautiful outfit she gave Enna-Marie when she was just a newborn baby, now it fits auntie...!



















In the evening, we dined out with our good friend Martijn (his wife May is presently in South Africa doing a film project, we missed you May!) in a restaurant called Fattoush. Menchie had her favorite halumi salad while Martijn and Maarten had meat dishes. The dessert was of course the Knafi, a typical Israeli delight that is soo good. Here are few pictures of Enna-Marie drinking from a glass with the assistance of oom Martijn...















On Friday, we were invited for lunch at Tazien and Arjang's place together with some other friends. The food was scrumptious with a combination of both Persian and Hindi dishes...
