The holiday of Zervan-Akaran falls on November 21, when the Sun is 30 degrees Scorpio. This is the holiday of the Great Void.
Zervan in the Zoroastrian philosophical system — is infinite unknowable to man. Zervan-Akarana symbolizes eternal time, it is considered open. In eternal time there are Izeda — bearers of sacred principles and other deities, angels.
People can only touch the eternal through the rituals of the holiday, for which they organize masquerades. It is believed that the eternal tears off all masks, all lies, superficial things and reveals the truth.
From year to year on this holiday, people repeat the mystery of putting on and tearing off masks, trying to set themselves up for the eternal, the true.
For people, Zervan — is a sacred emptiness that protects against distortions and deviations. The Zervan symbol is often used to protect against evil.
Buying mirrors and watches on this day is favorable. They light 4 fires — the number of Zervan: past, present, future and eternity.
