Zoroastrian festivals

Zoroastrian festivals are celebrations honoring key aspects of their faith, such as seasonal changes and religious stories. For example, Nowruz marks the New Year with symbolisms of renewal and nature’s rebirth, coinciding with the spring equinox. Other festivals like Khordad Sal celebrate the birth of the prophet Zoroaster, emphasizing spirituality and moral principles. Fire plays a central role in rituals, symbolizing purity and divine presence. These festivals foster community, spiritual reflection, and gratitude, blending ancient traditions with contemporary observance to reinforce Zoroastrian values of truth, righteousness, and respect for nature.
