TEHRAN (Amordadnews): Since the last few years many Zoroastrian villages are content with just a few Zoroastrian inhabitants.
Of course, the story of Zoroastrian villages is the story of other villages in Iran.  The inhabitants of these villages have migrated for various reasons but have left their memories behind (people will leave but hearts will stay behind).  This is the story of these villages.  From time to time, when an opportunity or an occasion arises, the warm breath of its inhabitants brings new life into the village.
This time it was the demise anniversary of Zarathshtra, and people had gathered.  In memory of Zarathushtra Ali-Abad took a different color and commemorated this day in detail.  The inhabitants of Ali-Abad, of all ages, and from all corners of Yazd gathered in the village of their ancestors and united in holding a detailed ceremony, which is being held since thousands of years.
