Abstract

Probably the most important holy places in Iran for Zarthushtis (ZOROASTRIANS) are pilgrimage places near Ardakan, Aghda, Mehriz and YAZD, all in YAZD province. This article discusses the significance and geographical as well as cultural characteristics of these historical and religious places. While these holy places are visited every year by hundreds of ZOROASTRIANS from all over the world, they cannot be considered solely as places for worship. We are not sure whether these piroons (= pilgrimage places) were originally places of pilgrimage in the past. However, they were mainly used by ZOROASTRIANS as stations and shelters during their long journeys east. From 1200 years ago, such a scenario has happened possibly several times during political and sociological disturbances. Various ZOROASTRIANS dialects in YAZD, Ardakan and Taft areas can testify to the effect of such immigration pattern which eventually led to the settlement of a mixed population in the area. Whatever their origins are, these holy places provide platforms for ZOROASTRIANS gathering (unity), praying and remembering their ancestors and of course the happiness which is the consequence of these three.
