Feast of Amertatus and the Fire of Kings (15/08)

The Feast of Amertatus and the Fire of Kings is celebrated in Zoroastrianism on August 15, when the Sun enters the 23rd degree of the constellation Leo.

Amertat (Immortality, infinity) — Amesha-Spenta, protecting the life of everything that should be born: people, animals, plants. It is associated with overcoming death, fears, and the development of creativity. As a patron of love, he protects children in the first seven years of their lives. Where there is fun, laughter, joy, there is always the touch of his wing.

Amertat — is the patron saint of the plant kingdom, personifies immortality, infinity. The tree has always been a symbol of eternity, as has its planting — a symbol of the laying of the background, tradition and deeds that will outlive us.

Water on this day — «living», it fills with vitality, as if it breathes life, gives impetus to creativity.

In its meaning, all this comes into close contact with the Fire of Kings, dedicated to the most mysterious and strange of Hvarna. It is given to people who are free and creative, devoid of vanity and have no desire to rule others. These chosen ones of God took on power and gigantic responsibility only because they were given the Power to bear this burden. But with or without power, they were Creators planting immortal seedlings.

The celebration begins with the first rays of the Sun, which heal and rejuvenate. On this day, a person receives strength and releases creative energy. They strive to do something with their own hands. They leave everything unnecessary and unhealthy with traces on the sand.

This is a holiday of joy, love and creativity, everything related to achieving immortality, prolonging life, alchemy of the spirit.

On the day of the holiday, 19 lights are lit.
