peer agreement (net): +7| hidrellez روز خضز Explanation: Hidrellez is not an Iranian or Zarathustrian name. It is the name of a holly day in Azerbaijan and some parts of Turkey. It is the day that prophet Khizr (خضر) met the earth. To answer your question I have to say that fire is very sacred for Zarathustrians and they have a day that jump on fire and wear special white clothes and celebrate. That ceremony is called جشن سده /jashn e sade/ Sadeh Ceremony.

"Khizrellyas" |
