[2025 Yazd Attraction] Travel Guide for Zoroastrian Fire Temple of Yazd (Updated Apr)

#getgoing2025 When I visited the Zoroastrian Fire Temple in Yazd, I was immediately captivated by its serene and spiritual atmosphere. Located on a quiet hill, the temple houses a perpetual flame, a symbol of purity and the divine presence in Zoroastrianism. The flame, kept burning since ancient times, was mesmerizing to watch. The architecture of the temple, with its white walls and distinctive design, added to the tranquility of the experience. Inside, there’s a small museum with artifacts that offered insight into the history and rituals of the Zoroastrian community. The sense of peace and reverence was profound, and it felt like stepping into a different time. The entry fee was modest, and the temple is well-maintained, making it a must-visit for anyone interested in history and spirituality.

Yazd, the headquarters of Ming Cult in Jin Yong's novels, is also the center of the Zoroastrianism, the state religion of the Persian Empire. Known as the city of windcatchers, it is home to the World Heritage-listed qanat system, ancient Silk Road stations, and a millennium of cultural heritage deeply integrated into this old city... There are currently three sacred fires remaining in Iran, the most famous of which is located in the Zoroastrian temple in Yazd. No matter how time passes, the sacred fire never extinguishes, and the faithful have been worshipping it continuously. For this reason, Zoroastrianism is not only the sacred fire order of Ming Cult in 'The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber' but also one of the world's earliest monotheistic religions. The beast god of Zoroastrianism is its founder, Zoroaster. This symbol, resembling an eagle, can be seen everywhere in Iran, from museums to coffee shops. Its wings, one in front and one behind, represent the past and the future, good and bad, virtue and evil; the three layers of wings symbolize good thoughts, good words, and good deeds, all of which are indispensable; the circular covenant in the middle represents the eternal cycle of life; the forward-striding posture admonishes people to always look ahead. This is the embodiment of goodness, symbolizing the rejection of all evil thoughts, words, and deeds, and the move towards the light. I really like this meaning. Later, when I was shopping, I saw a pendant and decisively bought it as a reminder to myself to maintain my original intention and to think, speak, and act kindly. The culture of Yazd is ancient and splendid. Perhaps it is its mysterious veil that makes it all the more unforgettable, truly a place that haunts one's dreams.

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. . . . . . . . . . . . . . #photo #photos #pic #socialsteeze #picture #pictures #snapshot #beautiful #instagood #picoftheday #photooftheday #color #all_shots #exposure #composition #focus #capture #moment #hdr #hdrspotters #hdrstyles_gf #hdri #hdroftheday #hdriphonegraphy #hdr_lovers #awesome_hdr #theworldheritage #iran #autumn #mahdie_zamankahnpour
