We celebrate it too but we call it gaghan/ gaghant which means new year in Armenian.

Thanks for postin this wonderful video. the celebration of winter solistice among us zoroastrians was a celebration of the triumph of light against darkness and gloom. while the whole cold winter still lies ahead, the longest and darkiest night has passed. light is increasing little by little everyday and eternal spring is at hand.

[@Mithruna]

it has nothing to do with zoroastrianism. its celebrating of mithra. zoroaster removed mithra and replaced him with ahura mazda

[@RS-rz9xj]

@@Mithruna Yes!

[@charronfamilyconnect]

Are there any scriptures for Mithra/Zoroastrian? I want to study the subject. I never heard of Mithra having 12 disciples so I need a source to validate this claim. As far as I know there isn't much written about Mithra. Thanks!

Light against darkness........ it says all.......navayetan javidan...... we will stay alive,........as far as we have you young hearts, keep on, we have to bring the light and life back.....lets kick the ass of ghame-zanan out of our beloved land..... payande bashid

[@morganlake41632]

Is this fair? Without darkness, shadows... no one could be aware of light or stars to guide us...Light should thank darkness for everything darkness has for it....like winning an Oscar .... How well would you sleep without darkness? If there were no dark night, how sunrise symbolize rebirth?

MITRA was a GODESS! Feminine! Not male!

Now they are coming for Molana (Rumi) they have already stolen his identity and manipulated his poetry and are very close to claim him as a western philosopher and poet.
