Festivities include cultural gatherings and artistic performances across the country, IRNA wrote.
The Iranian Artists Forum (IAF) hosted a special session at the Shahnaz Hall on Friday, featuring speeches and musical performances inspired by the works of Sadi, a prominent figure in classical Persian poetry and literature. Notable figures such as Abdolmahmoud Rezvani, Abdolmehdi Mostakin, Ali Khodai, and Shahou Andalibi participated in the event.
Radio Saba is also joining the celebration with programs dedicated to Sadi. The broadcast will air music centered around Sadi's poems on Saturday. This musical program, produced by Ensieh Shamsollahi, is part of the radio's daily lineup.
In addition, the fourth calligraphy exhibition opened on April 18, in honor of Sadi's cultural and artistic legacy. The event, attended by guests including Yadolalh Kaboli Khansari, Hamidreza Qanei, Kourosh Kamali Sarvestani, and Mohammadreza Khalesi, marks a significant tribute to the Persian poet and scholar.
Sadi, the renowned Persian poet, is considered one of the greatest literary figures in Iranian history. Born in Shiraz, Iran in the 13th century, Sadi's works have stood the test of time and continue to inspire readers around the world.
