Ahura Mazda is the supreme God and Creator in Zoroastrianism, an ancient Persian religion. His name means "Wise Lord". He represents light, truth, and goodness, and he leads a cosmic struggle against the destructive spirit of evil.
Zoroastrianism is an ancient Persian religion that may have originated as early as 4,000 years ago. Arguably the world’s first monotheistic faith, it’s one of the oldest religions still in existence. Zoroastrianism was the state religion of three Persian dynasties, the principle of Good Thoughts, Good Words, and Good Deeds. Until the Muslim conquest of Persia in the seventh century A.D. Zoroastrian refugees, called Parsis, escaped Muslim persecution in Iran by emigrating to India. Zoroastrianism now has an estimated 100,000 to 200,000 worshipers worldwide, and is practiced today as a minority religion in parts of Iran and India.
