Bear in mind please that Nowruz is also a Zoroastrian feast and was so long before there were Muslims and Baha'is.

Of course it was. Actually Naw Ruz probably pre-dates Zarathustra as well. It is after all a celebration of the vernal equinox.

I'm wanted to just ask my friend Kiwimac having been a Baha'i before ... I thought you were a sort of Zoroastrian and now an Anglican priest?

Just curious..

Art,

Indeed I am a 'sort' of Zoroastrian

and, not an Anglican, but an Old Catholic Priest. I dwell in this matter, as in so many others, on the fringes. Having said that, I find Zoroastrianism extremely attractive ESPECIALLY when my more fundamentalist confreres are working so hard (seemingly) to bring Christianity into disrepute.

I hope this helps

O.K. Kiwi... I'd seen your posts elsewhere and appreciate your response.

Thanks!
