Chahar Shanbeh Soori (4SS), 2 weeks before Norooz
When people jump over the fire they speak to the fire saying, "Zardiyeh man az to, Sorkhiyeh to az man" literally translated as "My yellow for you and your red for me".
This symbolizes the cleansing process of the new year and the shedding away of bad health and unhappiness (yellow) and the taking in of joy and good health (red).
