Zoroaster, also known as Zarathustra, was an ancient Persian prophet and the founder of Zoroastrianism. His teachings have had a profound impact on various aspects of history and culture. In Raphael's famous fresco "The School of Athens, " Zoroaster is depicted among other great philosophers and thinkers. This artwork showcases his significance in shaping intellectual discourse during the Renaissance period. Dating back to the 6th century BC, a portrait provides us with a glimpse into his physical appearance. It serves as a reminder that behind his influential ideas stood a real person who left an indelible mark on humanity. One can witness the enduring legacy of Zoroastrianism through Parsi Fire Temples found across different regions like Bombay and Baku. These sacred places are where followers gather to worship Ahura Mazda, the supreme deity in this faith. A Parsi woman at a fire altar exemplifies how devotees continue to practice their religious rituals today. The flame symbolizes purity and enlightenment, reflecting key principles taught by Zoroaster centuries ago. The Parsee Tower of Silence represents another unique aspect of Zoroastrian burial customs. Located in India, it is where deceased individuals are laid out for vultures to consume their remains—a ritualistic practice rooted in reverence for nature's cycle of life and death. Emblematic representations such as the Ka ba-ye Zartosht or Cube highlight architectural marvels from ancient times. These structures served as centers for spiritual contemplation and devotion within the religion. To delve deeper into understanding this rich heritage, one can visit museums like the Zoroastrians History and Culture Museum in Yazd, Iran. Here artifacts provide insights into practices followed by adherents throughout history—an opportunity to appreciate their contributions fully. Zoroaster's teachings continue to inspire countless individuals worldwide due to their emphasis on ethical conduct, the struggle between good and evil, and the pursuit of truth.
