About This Calendar

This online calendar is intended to make Zoroastrian day names, observances, and seasonal religious days easier to find, remember, and share.

Dedication

This calendar is lovingly dedicated to the memory of our Mother, Parvin Khodayari, an extraordinary educator whose life was devoted to serving others. For more than twenty-five years, she taught underprivileged students and children with disabilities with compassion, patience, and unwavering dedication.

As a proud Zoroastrian, she also achieved a remarkable milestone in modern Iranian history, becoming the first Zoroastrian teacher after the 1979 Iran Revolution to be permitted to teach in Muslim schools.

She believed that education was a path to dignity, opportunity, and understanding, and she touched the lives of countless students through her kindness and commitment. Her courage, perseverance, and service to her community continue to inspire me every day. Through this calendar, we honor her memory and the enduring light she brought into the lives of so many.

Calendar System

The calendar follows the Fasli Zoroastrian calendar, aligned with the spring equinox and shown alongside Gregorian and Iranian calendar dates.

Jashn Days

Jashn days are Zoroastrian celebrations and commemorations. They often occur when the name of the day and the name of the month are connected, or when an important seasonal or religious observance is reached.

Nabor Days

Nabor days are traditionally observed as days of abstaining from meat. This calendar marks the four recurring Nabor day names: Vahman, Mah, Goosh, and Ram.

Gahanbar Days

Gahanbars are six seasonal Zoroastrian observances connected with creation, community, gratitude, and shared meals. Each Gahanbar is observed over a five-day period.
