Abstract

In this article, along with the existing elements of religious beliefs, which are partly accepted already as customs and traditions, descriptions of the main manifestations of Zoroastrianism are also considered. In particular, the rites of good and evil that originated in the Avesta, in connection with the struggle of Ahura Mazda and Ankhra Mainyu, and in support of this, the tradition of circumcision of the fetters is given, among other things, the game «Kyndyk-Sandyk», consonant with this motive, is also linked, and, accordingly, in the traditions of Zoroastrianism such a concept as fire worship is given: «Do not extinguish the fire by blowing out», «Do not step on the ashes», «Do not scatter fire and ashes», «Do not play with fire», «Do not cross the fire, do not spit on the fire», etc. Along with this, the celebration of Nauryz and the observance of traditions are linked now and also in the traditions of the Zoroastrian faith, as the available calculations are given.
