Zend-Avesta

The Zend-Avesta is the sacred text of Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest known religions founded in ancient Persia. It contains hymns, prayers, and religious teachings that detail the principles of good versus evil, highlighting the importance of truth, order, and moral integrity. The Avesta is the collection of sacred writings, while the Zend refers to the interpretative translations and explanations of these texts, often written in Middle Persian. Together, they serve as the spiritual and doctrinal foundation of Zoroastrian faith, guiding rituals and moral conduct of its followers.
