Talk:Mehregan

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I find it bizarre that this article lists October as the date for Mehregan. As far as I know, it occurs on the winter solstice, and should thus take place on December 21. Most other web resources attest to this. For instance, see here: http://www.iranonline.com/festivals/mehregan-english-2/ —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Naseem19 (talk • contribs) 23:52, 21 December 2005 (UTC).

The provided URL doesn't mention December 21st. It says "16th [day] of the seventh month". Are you perhaps confusing Mehregan with Sadeh?

I find it very unlikely that the scarified sheep's fat is taken to the temple to be burned on the holy fire. Zoroastrians are extremely careful about the fire and nothing has to go in there but wood and incense. Where have you read this? Where is your source?

good catch. well done.

btw, you can also edit such things yourself (leave a descriptive comment of your edit so its not misunderstood to be destructive)
