To all:
I think the most humorous thing in Christianity that comes directly from
Zoroastrianism is Christmas. Why is Christmas celebrated on Dec. 25?
Because the Zorostrains believe their messiah is to come on Dec. 25.
Period. That is why Christians decided to celebrate Christ's birthday then.
In actuality, Christ was born in the summer. Bible reading shows that
animals are only allowed into the fields for a few summer months. Also the
Bible says that shepards came in from tending their sheep in the fields when
Jesus was born. Christmas was a dirty trick trying to unjustly and
deceitfully convert Zoroastrians. Ironically, it worked. Zorostrianism
isn't near what it once was.
