Zoroastrians Around the World (FEZANA)

Federation of Zoroastrian Associations of North America

FEZANA, the Federation of Zoroastrian Associations of North America, publishes this age appropriate history lesson for Zoroastrian religious education, prepared by Artemis Javanshir and edited by Tanaz Karai, documenting that contact between the Zoroastrian communities of Iran and India was largely absent until the close of the fifteenth century, when letters on ritual and law, the Rivayats, began passing between them from 1477 onward and continued for nearly three centuries.
