Good morning, happy Thursday in the Year of the ZAO: Day 23.
Understanding Adar Roj in the Zoroastrian Culture
Today, we explore Adar Roj, a significant day in Zoroastrian culture. Zoroastrianism is one of the world's oldest continuously practiced religions, and Adar Roj is dedicated to the creation of Fire. In Zoroastrian belief, Fire is the physical symbol of Ahura Mazda, the supreme god. During prayers, Zoroastrians focus on Fire as a source of light and warmth, symbolizing the knowledge and learning that dispels ignorance.
Common Misconception
It's often misunderstood that Zoroastrians are fire worshippers. However, this isn’t accurate. They see Fire as a sacred element of the earth that they respect and honor.
Fascinating Fact
Did you know there's an ancient Zoroastrian fire that has been burning continuously for over 1500 years? This enduring flame symbolizes the eternal light of knowledge and the enduring spirit of the Zoroastrian faith.
Wishing you a wonderful and enlightening Thursday.
