5 Aban 2579 Shahanshahi — equivalent to 5 Aban 1399 Shamsi and 2020-10-26 Gregorian. Mehrshad Shahidi Birthday is observed on this day. Today's occasion, a cultural insight, and a classical Persian verse.
5 Aban 2579 in the Shahanshahi calendar falls on Monday — equivalent to 5 Aban 1399 Shamsi and 26 October 2020 Gregorian.
Mehrshad Shahidi was born on October 27, 2002. He gained fame by sharing cooking videos on social media and was known as Iran's Jamie Oliver. Sadly, he never celebrated his 20th birthday as he was killed by regime forces one day before.
Today is 5 Aban in the Shahanshahi calendar — one day in thousands of years of unbroken Persian culture.
دل آینهای است که در وی مینگرند آنان که ز خویش بیخبرند
“The heart is a mirror in which look Those who are unaware of themselves”
