Even though the majority of Iranians are Muslims, some of the main Zoroastrian’s feasts are still celebrated by al. Iranians. Some of these festivities are Nowruz, Yalda, Charshanbe Souri.

“When I was 13, my sister and brother-in-law became a Christian. Every day my sister would talk to me about Jesus. But I was very good student of Quran, and I knew my sister was wrong. I worked very hard to prove the bible was wrong so I could tell my sister and brother-in-law that it was bad that they left Islam. The more I worked to prove the bible wrong the more questions I had about the bible and Christian. After several years, I had begun to realize that the bible was true. That Jesus was true. I became a Christian that day. My brother-in-law baptized me in the bathtub in their home began to tell others about Jesus in Iran. My government did not like that. I was arrested and in prison for my believe in Jesus. I was treated very poorly in prison. Many lies the government told me. I was hit really bad in prison. But, I kept my faith. After I was released from prison, I had to escape Iran. But with God’s help, I have planted many churches in my country. Someone asked me if it was worth it. Was it worth my going to prison? Was it worth it leaving my family? Was it worth leaving my country? My whole family believes in Jesus. Was it worth it? Yes, Jesus is worth it all.
