The Crest

Emblem of the Sacred Fire

At the center of the Mesopotamian Crest stands the Farāvahār, the most prominent symbol in Zoroastrianism, depicting a winged figure bringing light and wisdom into the world.

On the left is the Gorz Mace, a weapon carried by many of the great legendary heroes of Persian myth. On the right, the Kopis sword, a sacred blade said to be wielded by the coming savior at the end of ages.

Crowning the crest above all is the Atar, the holy fire of Zoroastrianism, the divine representation of power and purity, and the visible presence of Ahura Mazda and his truth.
