The great festival of Meherangan
Roj Tir, Mah Ardibehest, 1377 Yz.
Tomorrow, 2nd October 2007 is Fasli Roj Meher, Mah Meher – the great festival of Meherangan. The Meherangan falls exactly in the middle of the year – with Jamshedi Navroze preceding it and the Farvardegan days following it. In ancient Iran, the festival of Meherangan was observed with great pomp and gaiety, with the Iranian Emperor giving audience to the common people as well as attending several magnificent Zarathushtrian rituals conducted by the state sponsored Zarathushtrian Religious Authority which ensured the continued peace and prosperity within the Zarathushtrian Empire.
