EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in Zoroastrian history - a High Priest reciting before the sacred fire. The image, dating back to the 19th century, showcases the rich cultural heritage of this ancient Iranian faith. Zoroastrians are descendants of the fire-worshippers who followed the teachings of Zoroaster, an influential prophet and reformer from centuries ago. Despite facing persecution and marginalization over time, these followers managed to preserve their beliefs in pockets within Islamic Iran since 635 AD. They also found refuge in India from the 10th century onwards, where they became known as Parsees. The photograph portrays a male High Priest dressed in traditional attire, engrossed in his recitation before the flickering flames. His presence exudes reverence and devotion towards this sacred ritual that has been passed down through generations. Through this image, we catch a glimpse into Zoroastrianism's religious practices and its enduring legacy. It serves as a reminder of how culture can withstand adversity and continue to thrive even amidst changing times. This remarkable engraving is not just an artistic representation but also an invaluable historical document that sheds light on one of humanity's oldest religions - offering us insight into both Persian traditions and Zoroaster himself.
