Zoroastrianism, sometimes called less
correctly 'fire worshipping’, is one of the world's oldest monotheistic
religions. It was founded by the Prophet Zoroaster in ancient Iran
approximately 3500 years ago. The first Persian king to recognize the religion proposed
by Zoroaster was Kay Vishtash, and Zoroaster's ideas spread under Darius. According
to the last census there are about 25000 Zoroastrians living in Iran, many of
them in central provinces like Yazd and Kerman. People of Yazd celebrate their national, local and
religious occasions same other regions in the country. Iran's largest community
of Zoroastrians are settled in Yazd more than any part of Iran who have
enriched the social fascinations with their own special ceremonies and
traditions. Uppersia’s well-informed tour guide, Milad, suggested our guests to
have dinner in a Zoroastrian ecolodge in Taft and hear a little about
Zoroastrian beliefs from a young and ambitious couple who made you feel warmly
welcome.
