Founder Persian Zarathustra Zoroaster Zoroastrianism
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image depicts the enigmatic figure of Zoroaster, the ancient Persian religious leader and founder of Zoroastrianism, also known as Parsism in India. Zoroaster is believed to have lived around 551 BCE, with some scholars suggesting a later date of circa 628 BCE. The exact details of his life and teachings remain a subject of ongoing scholarly debate and fascination. Born in the eastern Iranian region of Bactria or Margiana, Zoroaster is considered one of the world's earliest prophets and the founder of monotheistic religion. His teachings emphasized the struggle between good and evil, the importance of free will, and the belief in an afterlife. Zoroastrianism spread throughout the Persian Empire and beyond, influencing other major world religions, including Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. In this evocative print from Mary Evans Picture Library, Zoroaster is depicted as a wise and contemplative figure, dressed in the robes of a religious leader. His piercing gaze and serene expression convey a deep sense of spiritual insight and inner peace. The background landscape, with its rolling hills and verdant foliage, adds to the sense of tranquility and otherworldly beauty. Despite the passage of time and the many challenges that Zoroastrianism has faced throughout history, the faith remains an important part of the religious and cultural heritage of Iran and India. Today, there are an estimated 150,000 to 200,000 Zoroastrians worldwide, many of whom continue to practice their ancient faith and preserve its rich traditions. This image of Zoroaster serves as a reminder of the enduring power of religious belief and the profound impact that a single individual can have on the course of human history.
