zoroastrianism

Zoroastrianism, one of the world’s oldest organized religions, was founded by the prophet Zoroaster in ancient Iran and is centered around the worship of Ahura Mazda, the supreme god of wisdom. This faith uniquely combines elements of monotheism with a dualistic cosmology, positing an eternal battle between the forces of good, led by Ahura Mazda, and evil, embodied by Angra Mainyu. Zoroastrian teachings emphasize moral choice and purity in thought, word, and deed as humanity’s role in supporting the ultimate triumph of good over evil.
