ZOROASTRIANISM

Have you read about the Amesha Spentas? How about the good Ahura Mazda and the evil Angra Mainya? Perhaps you don't know Zarathrustra - or maybe have only seen or heard his name? Interested? We hope so - Zoroastrianism has had a tremendous impact on most other world religions and also on our way of thought today. Join us as we learn why followers of Zoroastrianism were scorned and persecuted and then what happened to make this religion a religion of empires in the Middle East. Take a front seat at ceremonies honoring birth, coming of age, marriage, and death. Find out just what Towers of Silence are, and why there are less of them today. Celebrate New Year's with Zoroastrians, and then check out their fire temples.
