  • A Study of the Reasons for the Permanence of Tirgan Or "Tirmā
    A Study of the Reasons for the Permanence of Teergan or "Tirmā Sizzệ Šu" Celebration in the Province of Mazandaran in Iran Dr. Morteza Mohseni* Dr. Mahmoud Azizi** Maryam Valizadeh*** Abstract: There are many festivals, rituals and celebrations in the ancient Persian calendar; amongst them, to name only a few are Nowrooz, Mehregan, Sa' adeh, Abangan, etc. These festivals and rituals mostly originated from religious rites and practices, each emanating from a particular myth. As a matter of fact, these rites constitute the practical perspectives of people’s mythological beliefs and convictions. The reason why some of these ancient myths are still working is that they are still functioning in the daily lives of people. It seems that with the decline of their sacredness and popularity they start to disappear from the lives of the people. The "Tirmā Sizzệ Šu", the night of the 13th of Teer in the Persian solar calendar, festival is taken to be a remnant of the ancient Persian ritual festival of Teergan. This festival is still celebrated in certain regions of Iran, especially in the north of the country. Amongst different reasons that gave a relatively permanent life to this festival in the north of the country are the special geographical as well as environmental influences. To this we should also add the religious and mythological beliefs of the people of the region. The authors will attempt to redefine some of the major reasons that gave a lasting life to these beliefs and myths. Keywords: myth, Tirmā Sizzệ Šu, festival, calendar, Mazandaran,

  • 2 Mehr and Mehregan
    MEHREGAN - MEHR 2 Mehr and Mehregan Pireyeh Yaghmaii Writer and Poet o Mehr! As we have not been amongst Mehr-Dorujansl free us from needs, from all needs. You have the power to prevail, fear and worry over the bodies of the Mehr-Dorujans. You have the might, when you are angry, to take away: their strength of arms their energy of knees, their sight of eyes, and the hearing of their ears (Mehr-Yasht, vi, 23).2 Ancient Persians believed happiness to be a grace from Ahura-Mazda and sadness an evil from the Devil. Happiness was so dear to them that the Achaemenian kings saw it in unity with the creation of the heavens and the Earth, as was engraved at the beginning of their tablets: Ahura-Mazda is the great Lord who created this Earth and created that sky and created the human being and created happiness for human beings. The ancient Persians did not even mourn the death of people and considered mourning and grieving a great sin, and struggled for happiness; they used every occasion as an excuse to celebrate.3 The ancient Persians did not observe week days. They had twelve months of 30 days each, in which every day had a name.4 They regarded the extra five days at the end of the year as celebration days, called andargah. Within the 30 day cycle there were twelve days, each named after the months. when the name of the day coincided with the name of the month, that day was celebrated and special events were organized.
