Today, the Zoroasters celebrate the birthday of their prophet (Khordad Sal). Khordad means perfection, and it is customary on this day to visit the Fire Temple to thank Ahura Mazda, the Persian name for the One God, for giving humanity the ideal gift from Prophet Zarathushtra. His followers participate in a jashan or thanksgiving ceremony; hear the stories of his miraculous birth and life; then celebrate with a sumptuous community meal, drinks and dancing. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #March 26 #khordadsal
