The 3rd Festival of Shams and Mawlana that was supposed to be held in August has been put off.
The tomb of Shams-e Tabrizi is located in Khoy County, West Azarbaijan Province.
September 28 is named “Shams Day” in the Iranian calendar commemorating the celebrated thinker Shams Tabrizi.
Known as the spiritual instructor and mentor of the Persian poet Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi (1207-1273), Shams (1185–around1248) was born in Tabriz.
Tradition holds that Shams taught Rumi in seclusion in Konya for a period of forty days, before disappearing.
To commemorate Shams and Rumi in Iran, numerous events, including festivals, conferences, seminars, as well as webinars are held annually.
