EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a Zorastrian High Priest deeply immersed in prayer as he recites before the sacred fire. The Zorastrians are a resilient community, descendants of the ancient Iranian fire-worshippers who followed the teachings of Zoraster, an influential prophet and reformer from centuries past.
Known as Gabars by Muslims, these followers have persevered through centuries of challenges, maintaining their faith and traditions in pockets within Islamic Iran since 635 AD and later flourishing in India with the Parsees from the 10th century onwards. This image from the 19th century engraving offers a glimpse into a timeless ritual that has been passed down through generations.
The priest's solemn expression and reverent posture convey a sense of devotion and reverence for their beliefs. The flickering flames of the sacred fire illuminate his face, casting shadows that speak to the spiritual significance of this moment.
As we gaze upon this scene frozen in time, we are reminded of the enduring power of faith and tradition to connect us to our roots and guide us through life's trials. The Zorastrian High Priest stands as a symbol of strength and resilience, embodying centuries-old wisdom that continues to inspire awe and admiration today.
