Fire Worship in Zoroastrianism

[SpinelSun]

Fire worship is central to Zoroastrianism, where fire represents the divine essence of Ahura Mazda. Temples (Atash Behrams) maintain a sacred fire that is never allowed to go out. Rituals include offerings of sandalwood and prayers while facing the fire.

Fire worship in Zoroastrianism is such a profound expression of spirituality! The dedication to maintaining a sacred fire highlights the importance of continuity in faith and devotion. It’s fascinating how rituals like these create a tangible connection to the divine.

Fascinating! The symbolism of fire as a divine presence is so powerful—there’s something timeless and almost mesmerizing about it. I can see why keeping the flame alive would be such a sacred duty in Zoroastrianism. It's beautiful how fire is not just an element here but a true representation of purity and divinity. The rituals around it must feel so profound and connected to the ancient world!
