EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the majestic Parsi Fire Temple in Baku, Azerbaijan, a place of deep spiritual significance for the Zoroastrian community. Dating back to circa 1905, this temple stands as a testament to the rich history and enduring traditions of Zoroastrianism, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions and philosophies. Founded before the 6th century BC in ancient Iran, Zoroastrianism is based on the teachings of the prophet Zoroaster, also known as Zarathustra. At the heart of this faith is the belief in the struggle between good and evil, and the importance of living a virtuous life through the practice of Asha (truth), Vohu (good mind), Khshathra (power or authority), Armaiti (harmony), Haurvatat (wholeness), and Ameretat (immortality). The fire temple in Baku is a sacred place where the Zoroastrian community gathers to honor their faith through the veneration of fire, which represents the divine presence and the eternal flame of truth. The temple's intricate architecture and ornate details reflect the deep reverence and devotion of its followers. Despite facing persecution and dwindling numbers over the centuries, the Zoroastrian community continues to thrive in various parts of the world, including Azerbaijan. This photograph offers a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage and the enduring power of their ancient faith.
