EDITORS COMMENTS
This postcard, dated back to 1903, offers a rare glimpse into the Zoroastrian School in Iran, a place where the ancient Persian faith was passed down from generation to generation. The image showcases a group of young boys, dressed in traditional Parsi uniforms, intently studying under the guidance of their teachers. The boys wear white shirts, black trousers, and distinctive red fez-style caps, while their teachers, dressed in long robes and turbans, sit cross-legged on Persian rugs adorned with intricate designs. The classroom is filled with the warm glow of natural light filtering in through the windows, casting long shadows on the wooden desks and shelves lined with books. The Zoroastrian faith, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religions, traces its origins back to ancient Persia. Despite facing persecution and decline during Islamic rule, the faith continued to thrive in pockets of Iran and India. The establishment of Zoroastrian schools was a crucial step in preserving the faith and ensuring its continuity. The postcard also offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage of Iran, with the Persian language, Farsi, and the beautiful Persian carpets adding to the authenticity of the scene. The image is a testament to the enduring spirit of the Zoroastrian community and their commitment to preserving their unique faith and traditions.
