By Aftab Yazdani, Amordad correspondent
TEHRAN (Amordadnews): Another Nowzut ceremony is forthcoming. In this ceremony, to be held on 24 Mehr (16 October), Ramin Shahzadi will join the mobed order, and will unite with other mobeds in guarding the Zoroastrian religion and culture.
In order to achieve this rank an extensive religious education and tests given by the head mobeds regarding religion and customs should be passed. Ramin Shahzadi has passed these stages and is now looking forward to his Nowzut ceremony.
About this ceremony and his eagerness he has penned the following lines:
“I wish to pave the path that my forbearers have led.
I want to carry the burning torch that other mobeds and our ancestors have guarded from enemies and time, with honor and unbelievable self-sacrifices, and have handed it to us today. With this torch in my hand I want to spread the religion of righteousness.
It is some years that I have started my education and I have now succeeded to pass the examination of Tehran Mobed Association, and will soon wear the white mobed gown.
I will be most happy, if in this celebration my respective fellow-Zoroastrians will participate on 24 Mehr (equal to Anarom Izad day of Mehr month, 3747 Zoroastrian religious calendar).
I wish you success and happiness
Ramin Shahzadi”
