Having read the item "Salute to Sadeh” (Zoroastrians Abroad, Parsiana, January 7-20, 2024), I would like to point out some misinformation which has unfortunately found its way into the archives of UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization). The agency has recognized Sadeh (pictured) as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity, for which we should be grateful, but I do hope they correct their records.
To claim that the 100 of Sadeh refers to the 50 days and 50 nights before Navroz is incorrect. It is sad to see how so many scholars and prestigious institutions repeat an incorrect narrative......
