[Leica] IMGS: Zoroastrian Fire Temple

[Tina Manley]

PESO:

We visited the Zoroastrian Fire Temple in Yazd for a worship service.
Ordinarily, non-Zoroastrians are not allowed in the room where the
Victorious Fire (Khordeh Avesta) is located but we went with our friends
from the cucumber farm and they talked us in.  Everybody was very welcoming
once we got inside.  The rooms were very, very small and crowded so
photography was pretty difficult.  The fire itself is from 470 AD.  Almost
unbelievable!!

and hit previous for more.  I'm still having problems with the lines.
Caitlyn from PhotoShelter affirmed that is not a problem with my files but
thinks the transmission might have some hiccups.  She suggested I reload
them all.  Which I will get around to doing eventually!

"The *Yazd Atash Behram*, also known as *Yazd Atash Kadeh*), is a temple in
Yazd <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yazd>, to the west of Shiraz
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shiraz> in Iran. It was built in 1934 and
enshrines the Atash Bahram <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atash_Bahram>,
meaning “Victorious Fire”, dated to 470 AD. The sacred fire is installed in
the temple behind an amber tinted glass enclosure. Only Zoroastrians are
allowed to go to the sanctum area of the fire."

C&C greatly appreciated.
