Once the official creed of mighty Persian Empires, Zoroastrianism probably influenced the religions of Judaism, Christianity and Islam
Zoroastrianism and the Parsis
This illustrated talk highlights some aspects of the history, teachings and religious practice of a little known religion, Zoroastrianism. Once the official creed of mighty Persian Empires, Zoroastrianism probably had an influence on the religious ideas of Judaism, Christianity and Islam. It survives to the present day as the faith of small but influential minorities in Iran, India and diaspora communities around the globe.
