All times are in India Standard Time.
While the Christians celebrate Christmas, the Iranians, particularly Zarthushtis celebrate one of their most ancient celebrations, called Yalda, which means Birth.
Yalda is the night of Mehr or Mithra’s birth.
This is traced to the primal concept of Light and Good, against Darkness and Evil in the ancient Iranian religion.
From this day forward, Light Triumphs, as the days grow longer and gives more light.
When Mithraism spread to ancient civilised world from Iran, Dec 21st was celebrated as Mithra’s birthday.
But in the 4th century AD because of some errors in counting the Leap Year, the birthday of Mithra shifted to Dec 25th.
Until that time the birthday of Jesus Christ was celebrated on Jan 6th. (Eastern Orthodox – Ukrainian Christmas). But the religion of most of the Romans and the people of many of the European countries was still Mithraism.
When Christianity spread, the priests could not stop the practice of celebrating Mithra’s birthday on Dec 25th, so they declared this day as Jesus’ birthday which is still so.
In ancient Persia, Yalda festivities were symbolized by the evergreen tree.
Zartosht no-diso, or Zarthost no deeso, is an important day of remembrance in the Zoroastrian religion.
It is a commemoration of the death anniversary of the prophet Zoroaster.
It is observed on the 11th day (Khorshed) of the 10th month (Dae).
In the seasonal calendar, Zarthost No-Diso falls on December 26.
It is an occasion of remembrance with lectures and discussions held on the life and works of the
prophet.
Special prayers are recited,and attendance at the fire temple is very high.
A much higher number of mobeds are brought to pray at the Atash Behrams and Atash Adarans.
There is no mourning in the
Zoroastrian religion,
only remembrance and worship of the
Farohars of the departed.
However, Zoroaster's death is not mentioned in the Avesta.
Nonetheless, in the Shahnama 5.92,
he is said to have been murdered at the altar by the Turanians in the storming of Balkh.
Death Day of Zoroaster -Dec 26
What determines when Easter is each year?
Specifically, Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday following the full Moon that occurs on or just after the spring equinox.
Why does the date of Easter change every year?
The date of Easter changes,
because the Paschal full moon can fall on various days in different time zones.
But because Easter falls on a Sunday after the
March 21 spring equinox,
it will always occur on a Sunday between
March 22 and April 25.
