Kaveh the Blacksmith

The Iranian hero and the myth Kaveh the Blacksmith is believed to originate from Mashhad-e Kaveh. It is believed he was born on January 12 some 5000 years ago. His birth certificate at his grave in Mashhad e Kaveh, is a poem from the Safavid dynasty era, indicating Kaveh’s birthday is two months and a week before the Nowrooz night, thus it must be January 12. His birthday is a celebration day for friendship and justice.
