KIM LAWTON, guest anchor: On our calendar this week, Bahais and Zoroastrians prepare for their New Year, called Norooz, which occurs at the spring equinox. The Zoroastrian faith began in ancient Persia, now Iran. Estimates vary widely, but some claim that only as few as 115,000 Zoroastrians remain, most in India but also in Iran, Europe, and North America. To learn more about how Zoroastrian Americans celebrate Norooz, we visited the Aidun family in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Zoroastrianism teaches that people should do good to help their one God in his cosmic struggle with the power of evil.
