Zoroastrian Fire Temple of Yazd

an interesting place in Yazd. Zoroastrian fire temple!The fire that burns inside this fire temple has been lit for more than 1500 years. This fire is from the fire of Karian fire temple in Larestan, Fars province,which was brought to Aqda in Yazd and kept there for nearly 700 years. Then, in 522 AH (1174 AD), it was taken from Aqda to Ardakan (Turkabad village) it was in Turkabad for 300 years and in 852 AH (1474 AD) it was taken from Turkabad to Yazd and kept.

Yazd is a Persian city, in Iran, the city is very comfortable, travelers are worth a visit. Low prices, strong folk customs attract tourists to visit.

Persian pronunciation is Ateshkadeh, one of the main temples of the Iranian Zoroazd religion, and is dedicated to the flame that is said to have been burning since the 5th century AD. According to reports, after the destruction of Sassanbos by the Arabs, some high priests took the Bahran flame to Ardakan near Yazd to burn it in hiding, and then transferred it to this point.

The attractions must have a high religious value, but the area is really small, just a room... The surrounding garden is not special, but the ticket is 1.5 million riyals. Although it is 25 yuan at the current exchange rate, the fare is more expensive than Persianpolis. It is a bit unreasonable.....

We walked about 1 km to the temple of worship. Buying tickets for 80,000 riyals per person to enter this small religious shrine, began our first understanding of this ancient religion. The religion of fire is one of the world's oldest religions, with a history of more than 2,500 years, it originated in Central Asia, was founded by the ancient Persian Zoroastrian, so the full name of the religion of fire is also called Zoroastrian. Today Yazd still has many remains of the fire worship, this downtown temple is one of them, because it is stored in the 1700 years old flame, so this temple also became one of the must-see attractions for tourists in Yazd. Entering the square courtyard of the temple, a small oval pool is under the steps in front of the main building. Bypassing the pool to the steps of the main building, looking up at the temple sign in the middle is a highlight of the tour. The hallowed logo that appears very clear under the blue sky and white clouds is the logo of the god Ahula Mazda. People will feel familiar when they see it, because the name and icon of the Japanese car Mazda originate from the logo of the god of fire. The source said that the center of the sign is a human face eagle wing guardian spirit called Faravahar, his head symbolizes experience and wisdom, his right hand points above, symbolizes worship of God, and his left hand holds a ring symbolizing unity, representing commitment, The rings that are popular around the world when we marry today actually originated from the left finger ring in this sign. I didn't expect to see something so closely linked to modern life in this ancient religious shrine. Step up into the main building hall, see the front glass window placed in the burning flame, it is said that the fire has been preserved for more than 1700 years, that is definitely a real flame. On the walls of the interior are portraits of the founder of the religion Zoroastrian, flanked by the texts of the religion. Although there are no religious worshippers here, some tourists are still seen filming the texts on their mobile phones. The visit to the temple of fire in Yazd only gave us a glimpse of this ancient religion. The ancient Persian emperor Darius I made the worship of fire the state religion, and worshiped the god of fire alone, Hula Mazda, as the supreme creator, savior and protector, and engraved his image in temples, temples and inscriptions. The ancient Persians, under the banner of the fire religion, became the most powerful empire in ancient times, and deeply imprinted their footprints on the land of Babylon, Egypt and India, the three ancient civilizations. At the same time, the emergence of the religion of worship has a profound impact on the three major religions of later Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. The room next to the courtyard has an introduction to the religion of worship, and there are models with pictures and texts. Unfortunately, we can't understand it and we can only watch a lively one.

Not much here, other than a flame which has (supposedly) been burning continuously for thousands of years. Interesting enough place to visit if you are in Yazd.

This is where Jin Yong Yitian Tulong Ji wrote the Persian Temple of Fire, where the order of the flame was issued. The temple is for the flame, and there are local churches who will bring the flame and pray. But now it is more like a fire worshipped information museum, relatively fire worshipped the ins and outs of the fire worshipped the ins and outs of a comprehensive introduction, Jin Yong fans can come and visit.
