Zoroastrianism: Ancient and Influential Religion

Zoroastrians
in South Windsor and surrounding towns will present a session on the
Zoroastrian religion, its origin and basic tenets, and the culture and customs
of the Zoroastrian Parsis of the Indian sub-continent.  This free event is
part of the 'Getting to Know Your Neighbors' initiative of the South Windsor
Human Relations Commission.



Learn
how Zoroastrianism was once one of the largest religions in the world, the
official religion of the Persian Empire, and how it influenced other religions
such as Christianity and Judaism.  You will hear brief presentations from
Zoroastrians in the area, and see displays of traditional clothing, and
religious and cultural objects.  You will
learn about celebrations of customs, holidays, and life cycle events, and taste
a sampling of traditional foods.
