Zoroastrian ritual

Zoroastrian rituals are practices that honor the teachings of the prophet Zoroaster, focusing on the worship of Ahura Mazda, the supreme deity. A key ritual is the "Yasna," a ceremony involving prayers, recitations from the Avesta (sacred texts), and offerings of sacred fire. Fire symbolizes purity and the presence of God. Another important ritual is the "Navjote," which welcomes a child into the faith. Zoroastrians also promote cleanliness and the care of nature, viewing rituals as a way to maintain cosmic order and moral balance in life.
