The new year Feast of Rivers and The Splendour of Death

The concept of Fravahar and the especial ceremonies of the dead, represents the Iranian ideology about death. Accordingly, Fravahar, as the heavenly self, is eternal, and continues to exist after death. Fravahar supports the survivors and is pleased by the happiness and content of the survivors. That is why Fravahar supports the pure, the true, water, the power to defend against war and generatively and reproduction. The performance of celebrations and benedictions gives power to Fravahar to flourish life. Like many other world cultures, in Iranian tradition, religious ceremonies are performed to honor Fravahar with the commencement of spring.
