Zoroastrian clergy

Zoroastrian clergy, known as "mobeds," play a vital role in the Zoroastrian faith, one of the world's oldest religions. They are responsible for conducting religious rituals, preserving sacred knowledge, and guiding the community in spiritual matters. Mobeds are trained in the teachings of Zoroaster, including the Avesta, the sacred texts of Zoroastrianism. Their duties include leading prayers, performing ceremonies such as weddings and funerals, and maintaining fire temples, which are central to worship in Zoroastrianism. The clergy ensures the continuity of religious traditions and fosters the spiritual well-being of the community.
