I’ve seen speculation several places that the Magi who visited baby Jesus with gifts, (Matthew 2), were Zoroastrians.

Interesting religion.

The heresy of Manicheaism originated from the blending of Zoroastrian and Christian theology. The heresy continues in various forms through this day.

My gardener says Zorro means fox in mesican.

By and large a good, positive, and accurate account of the Zoroastrians of Iran, and coming from AP that's a great achievements.

One becomes nostalgic for all those beautiful IRANIAN names. I wish our American friends here could understand how much sublime, pictorial, meaning, history and culure they carry behind them:

Nikbanau -- the lady of purest heart

Chak Chak -- drop by drop

Pir-e Sabz -- the GREEN Grand Elder/ The Ancient Pasture

Pedram and Goshtasb and Ahura Mazda!

Iranians yearn their past as they regret their present ever more.

Thank you for posting this. It brought a tear to my eyes.
