The “fire Wednesday”, considered as one of the symbols of Newroz celebrations, began in Azerbaijan. Despite the restrictions due to the new type of coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, Azerbaijanis gathered around the bonfires they set up in the neighborhoods for the “fire Wednesday”, which is the second of the “four wednesdays” in their old traditions and has similar characteristics to the spring arrival belief in Anatolia.
