  3,500
• 1:30
  years
• 1:30
  ago
• 1:31
  in
• 1:32
  ancient
• 1:32
  Persia,
• 1:33
  a
• 1:33
  land
• 1:34
  of
• 1:34
  golden
• 1:34
  deserts,
• 1:35
  twisting
• 1:36
  rivers
• 1:36
  and
• 1:37
  tall
• 1:37
  mountains.
• 1:38
  Today
• 1:39
  we
• 1:39
  call
• 1:39
  that
• 1:39
  place
• 1:40
  Iran.
• 1:40
  He
• 1:41
  lived
• 1:41
  in
• 1:41
  a
• 1:41
  time
• 1:41
  when
• 1:42
  people
• 1:42
  believed
• 1:43
  in
• 1:43
  many
• 1:43
  gods.
• 1:44
  They
• 1:45
  feared
• 1:45
  storms,
• 1:46
  dark
• 1:47
  spirits,
• 1:48
  and
• 1:48
  did
• 1:48
  rituals
• 1:49
  out
• 1:49
  of
• 1:49
  worry.
• 1:51
  But
• 1:51
  young
• 1:51
  Zoroaster
• 1:52
  was
• 1:53
  different.
• 1:54
  He
• 1:54
  was
• 1:54
  kind,
• 1:55
  thoughtful,
• 1:56
  and
• 1:57
  always
• 1:57
  asking
• 1:57
  big
• 1:58
  questions.
• 1:59
  Why
• 1:59
  are
• 2:00
  we
• 2:00
  here?
• 2:00
  Why
• 2:01
  do
• 2:01
  people
• 2:01
  hurt
• 2:02
  each
• 2:02
  other?
• 2:02
  Is
• 2:03
  there
• 2:03
  a
• 2:03
  better
• 2:03
  way
• 2:03
  to
• 2:04
  live?
• 2:05
  He
• 2:05
  felt
• 2:05
  deep
• 2:05
  inside
• 2:06
  that
• 2:06
  life
• 2:07
  was
• 2:07
  meant
• 2:07
  for
• 2:07
  goodness,
• 2:08
  not
• 2:08
  fear.
• 2:09
  So
• 2:09
  he
• 2:10
  searched
• 2:10
  for
• 2:10
  answers.
• 2:12
  One
• 2:12
  morning,
• 2:12
  when
• 2:13
  Zoroaster
• 2:13
  was
• 2:14
  about
• 2:14
  30
• 2:14
  years
• 2:14
  old,
• 2:15
  he
• 2:15
  went
• 2:15
  down
• 2:15
  to
• 2:16
  a
• 2:16
  quiet
• 2:16
  river
• 2:16
  to
• 2:17
  pray.
• 2:17
  A
• 2:17
  glowing
• 2:18
  figure
• 2:18
  appeared
• 2:19
  before
• 2:19
  him,
• 2:20
  bright
• 2:20
  and
• 2:21
  peaceful.
• 2:22
  It
• 2:22
  was
• 2:22
  a
• 2:22
  radiant
• 2:23
  being
• 2:23
  called
• 2:24
  Lohumana,
• 2:25
  which
• 2:25
  means
• 2:26
  good
• 2:26
  mind.
• 2:27
  This
• 2:28
  shining
• 2:28
  guide
• 2:29
  led
• 2:29
  Zoroaster
• 2:30
  into
• 2:30
  the
• 2:31
  presence
• 2:31
  of
• 2:31
  Ahura
• 2:32
  Mazda,
• 2:33
  the
• 2:33
  wise
• 2:34
  lord
• 2:34
  and
• 2:35
  the
• 2:35
  one
• 2:35
  true
• 2:35
  God
• 2:36
  in
• 2:36
  Zoroastrian
• 2:37
  belief.
• 2:38
  In
• 2:38
  this
• 2:39
  holy
• 2:39
  moment,
• 2:39
  Zoroaster
• 2:40
  asked
• 2:40
  questions
• 2:41
  about
• 2:41
  life,
• 2:42
  truth
• 2:43
  and
• 2:43
  the
• 2:43
  universe.
• 2:44
  And
• 2:44
  Ahura
• 2:45
  Mazda
• 2:45
  answered.
• 2:46
  He
• 2:47
  taught
• 2:47
  Zoroaster
• 2:48
  that
• 2:49
  there
• 2:49
  is
• 2:49
  only
• 2:49
  one
• 2:50
  God.
• 2:51
  The
• 2:51
  world
• 2:51
  is
• 2:52
  a
• 2:52
  battle
• 2:52
  between
• 2:52
  truth
• 2:53
  and
• 2:53
  lies,
• 2:54
  light
• 2:54
  and
• 2:55
  darkness.
• 2:56
  And
• 2:56
  each
• 2:56
  person
• 2:57
  has
• 2:57
  the
• 2:57
  freedom
• 2:58
  to
• 2:58
  choose
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  path
• 2:58
  of
• 2:59
  good.
• 2:59
  When
• 2:59
  Zoroaster
• 3:00
  returned
• 3:01
  home,
• 3:01
  he
• 3:01
  was
• 3:01
  changed,
• 3:02
  inspired,
• 3:04
  filled
• 3:04
  with
• 3:05
  purpose.
• 3:06
  He
• 3:06
  had
• 3:06
  a
• 3:06
  message
• 3:07
  for
• 3:07
  the
• 3:07
  world.
• 3:08
  Choose
• 3:09
  the
• 3:09
  path
• 3:09
  of
• 3:09
  truth
• 3:09
  and
• 3:10
  light.
• 3:11
  Do
• 3:11
  what
• 3:11
  is
• 3:11
  right,
• 3:12
  not
• 3:12
  out
• 3:12
  of
• 3:13
  fear,
• 3:13
  but
• 3:14
  because
• 3:14
  it
• 3:14
  makes
• 3:14
  the
• 3:15
  world
• 3:15
  better.
• 3:17
  At
• 3:17
  first,
• 3:17
  people
• 3:18
  weren't
• 3:18
  sure.
• 3:19
  These
• 3:19
  were
• 3:20
  new
• 3:20
  and
• 3:20
  bold
• 3:21
  ideas.
• 3:22
  But
• 3:22
  Zoroaster
• 3:23
  didn't
• 3:23
  give
• 3:24
  up.
• 3:24
  He
• 3:25
  shared
• 3:25
  his
• 3:25
  teachings
• 3:26
  gently
• 3:26
  and
• 3:27
  wisely.
• 3:28
  Over
• 3:28
  time,
• 3:29
  others
• 3:29
  began
• 3:30
  to
• 3:30
  listen,
• 3:31
  even
• 3:31
  a
• 3:31
  powerful
• 3:32
  king.
• 3:32
  We'll
• 3:33
  hear
• 3:33
  that
• 3:33
  story
• 3:34
  at
• 3:34
  the
• 3:34
  end.
• 3:35
  His
• 3:36
  teachings
• 3:36
  grew
• 3:37
  into
• 3:37
  Zoroastrianism,
• 3:39
  the
• 3:39
  main
• 3:39
  religion
• 3:40
  of
• 3:40
  ancient
• 3:41
  Persia.
• 3:42
  For
• 3:42
  centuries,
• 3:43
  people
• 3:43
  followed
• 3:44
  Ahura
• 3:44
  Mazda
• 3:45
  in
• 3:45
  that
• 3:45
  area,
• 3:46
  some
• 3:47
  still
• 3:47
  do.
• 3:47
  Wait.
• 3:48
  Ahura
• 3:48
  Mazda.
• 3:49
  That
• 3:49
  sounds
• 3:49
  familiar.
• 3:50
  Like
• 3:50
  the
• 3:50
  Mazda
• 3:51
  car
• 3:51
  my
• 3:51
  dad
• 3:52
  drives.
• 3:52
  Great
• 3:53
  observation,
• 3:54
  fun
• 3:55
  fact.
• 3:55
  The
• 3:55
  Mazda
• 3:56
  Car
• 3:56
  company
• 3:57
  did
• 3:57
  get
• 3:57
  its
• 3:57
  name
• 3:58
  from
• 3:58
  Ahura
• 3:58
  Mazda,
• 3:59
  the
• 3:59
  Zoroastrian
• 4:00
  God
• 4:00
  of
• 4:01
  wisdom.
• 4:01
  They
• 4:02
  wanted
• 4:02
  their
• 4:02
  cars
• 4:03
  to
• 4:03
  stand
• 4:03
  for
• 4:04
  intelligence
• 4:04
  and
• 4:05
  light.
• 4:06
  So
• 4:06
  in
• 4:07
  a
• 4:07
  way,
• 4:07
  every
• 4:07
  Mazda
• 4:08
  car
• 4:08
  on
• 4:08
  the
• 4:09
  road
• 4:09
  carries
• 4:09
  the
• 4:10
  name
• 4:10
  of
• 4:10
  Zoroaster's
• 4:11
  wise
• 4:11
  lord.
• 4:13
  Foreign
• 4:17
  it's
• 4:18
  time
• 4:18
  to
• 4:18
  get
• 4:18
  your
• 4:19
  body
• 4:19
  moving
• 4:19
  and
• 4:20
  your
• 4:20
  mind
• 4:20
  glowing.
• 4:22
  Stand
• 4:22
  up
• 4:23
  as
• 4:23
  tall
• 4:24
  as
• 4:24
  you
• 4:24
  can
• 4:25
  and
• 4:26
  stretch
• 4:26
  your
• 4:26
  arms
• 4:27
  way
• 4:27
  up
• 4:28
  high
• 4:29
  like
• 4:29
  you're
• 4:29
  the
• 4:29
  morning
• 4:30
  sun
• 4:30
  rising
• 4:31
  over
• 4:31
  a
• 4:31
  mountaintop.
• 4:33
  Wiggle
• 4:33
  your
• 4:34
  fingers
• 4:34
  up
• 4:34
  there.
• 4:36
  Those
• 4:36
  are
• 4:36
  your
• 4:37
  rays
• 4:37
  of
• 4:37
  light
• 4:38
  stretching
• 4:39
  into
• 4:39
  the
• 4:39
  sky
• 4:40
  and
• 4:40
  warming
• 4:41
  the
• 4:41
  world.
• 4:43
  Now
• 4:43
  take
• 4:43
  a
• 4:44
  deep
• 4:44
  breath
• 4:44
  in
• 4:44
  through
• 4:45
  your
• 4:45
  nose.
• 4:46
  And
• 4:46
  as
• 4:47
  you
• 4:47
  breathe
• 4:47
  out,
• 4:48
  imagine
• 4:48
  you're
• 4:49
  blowing
• 4:49
  away
• 4:50
  heavy
• 4:50
  thoughts
• 4:51
  and
• 4:51
  worries.
• 4:53
  Phew.
• 4:54
  Let
• 4:54
  them
• 4:55
  float
• 4:55
  off
• 4:55
  like
• 4:56
  smoke
• 4:56
  in
• 4:56
  the
• 4:57
  wind.
• 4:58
  Just
• 4:58
  like
• 4:58
  Zoroaster
• 4:59
  taught,
• 5:00
  when
• 5:00
  we
• 5:00
  clear
• 5:01
  out
• 5:01
  the
• 5:01
  dark,
• 5:02
  we
• 5:02
  make
• 5:02
  room
• 5:03
  for
• 5:03
  the
• 5:03
  light.
• 5:04
  Shake
• 5:05
  out
• 5:05
  your
• 5:05
  arms
• 5:05
  like
• 5:06
  flickers
• 5:06
  of
• 5:07
  fire.
• 5:08
  Shake
• 5:08
  your
• 5:08
  legs
• 5:09
  like
• 5:09
  you're
• 5:09
  kicking
• 5:10
  away
• 5:10
  shadows.
• 5:11
  And
• 5:11
  imagine
• 5:12
  you're
• 5:12
  stepping
• 5:13
  into
• 5:13
  brightness.
• 5:15
  Ah.
• 5:16
  Feel
• 5:16
  that
• 5:17
  glow
• 5:17
  inside.
• 5:18
  You're
• 5:19
  shining
• 5:19
  already.
• 5:20
  Keep
• 5:21
  that
• 5:21
  light
• 5:21
  with
• 5:22
  you
• 5:22
  as
• 5:22
  we
• 5:23
  explore
• 5:23
  more.
• 5:28
  Zoroaster
• 5:29
  taught
• 5:30
  that
• 5:30
  life
• 5:30
  is
• 5:30
  a
• 5:31
  constant
• 5:31
  choice
• 5:32
  between
• 5:32
  good
• 5:33
  and
• 5:33
  evil.
• 5:34
  But
• 5:35
  what
• 5:35
  does
• 5:35
  that
• 5:35
  mean?
• 5:36
  Mean
• 5:36
  for
• 5:36
  us,
• 5:36
  day
• 5:37
  to
• 5:37
  day?
• 5:38
  He
• 5:38
  broke
• 5:38
  it
• 5:39
  down
• 5:39
  into
• 5:39
  a
• 5:39
  simple
• 5:40
  guide
• 5:40
  that
• 5:41
  even
• 5:41
  a
• 5:41
  child
• 5:41
  in
• 5:42
  ancient
• 5:42
  times
• 5:43
  could
• 5:43
  remember.
• 5:44
  In
• 5:45
  Zoroastrianism,
• 5:46
  the
• 5:46
  most
• 5:47
  famous
• 5:47
  motto
• 5:48
  is
• 5:49
  good
• 5:49
  thoughts,
• 5:50
  good
• 5:50
  words,
• 5:51
  good
• 5:52
  deeds.
• 5:53
  Let's
• 5:53
  say
• 5:53
  that
• 5:54
  together
• 5:54
  to
• 5:54
  help
• 5:54
  us
• 5:55
  remember
• 5:55
  it.
• 5:55
  Repeat
• 5:56
  after
• 5:56
  me.
• 5:57
  Good
• 5:57
  thoughts,
• 5:58
  good
• 5:58
  words,
• 5:59
  good
• 5:59
  deeds.
• 6:01
  Good
• 6:01
  thoughts,
• 6:02
  good
• 6:02
  words,
• 6:03
  good
• 6:03
  deeds.
• 6:05
  This
• 6:05
  powerful
• 6:06
  motto
• 6:06
  is
• 6:06
  like
• 6:06
  a
• 6:06
  mini
• 6:07
  rule
• 6:07
  book
• 6:07
  for
• 6:08
  a
• 6:08
  good
• 6:08
  life.
• 6:09
  Think
• 6:09
  kind
• 6:10
  and
• 6:10
  truthful
• 6:11
  thoughts.
• 6:12
  Speak
• 6:13
  words
• 6:13
  that
• 6:13
  help,
• 6:14
  not
• 6:15
  hurt.
• 6:16
  Do
• 6:16
  actions
• 6:17
  that
• 6:17
  make
• 6:17
  the
• 6:17
  world
• 6:18
  better.
• 6:19
  Why?
• 6:20
  Because
• 6:20
  every
• 6:21
  time
• 6:21
  you
• 6:21
  think,
• 6:22
  say
• 6:22
  or
• 6:22
  do
• 6:23
  something
• 6:23
  good,
• 6:24
  you're
• 6:24
  shining
• 6:25
  light
• 6:25
  into
• 6:26
  the
• 6:26
  world.
• 6:27
  Zoroastrians
• 6:28
  believe
• 6:28
  there's
• 6:29
  a
• 6:29
  cosmic
• 6:29
  battle
• 6:30
  between
• 6:30
  truth
• 6:30
  and
• 6:31
  lies,
• 6:32
  light
• 6:32
  and
• 6:33
  darkness.
• 6:34
  Your
• 6:34
  small
• 6:35
  choices
• 6:36
  every
• 6:36
  day
• 6:37
  help
• 6:37
  decide
• 6:38
  which
• 6:38
  side
• 6:38
  wins
• 6:39
  every
• 6:39
  mean
• 6:40
  word
• 6:40
  or
• 6:41
  selfish
• 6:41
  action
• 6:42
  that
• 6:43
  feeds
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  darkness,
• 6:44
  the
• 6:44
  force
• 6:45
  Zoroastrians
• 6:46
  call
• 6:46
  druige
• 6:47
  or
• 6:48
  deceit.
• 6:49
  That's
• 6:49
  why
• 6:49
  you
• 6:50
  have
• 6:50
  the
• 6:50
  power
• 6:50
  to
• 6:50
  tip
• 6:51
  the
• 6:51
  balance
• 6:51
  with
• 6:51
  your
• 6:52
  own
• 6:52
  choices.
• 6:53
  Zoroaster
• 6:54
  taught
• 6:54
  that
• 6:55
  happiness
• 6:55
  comes
• 6:55
  from
• 6:56
  choosing
• 6:56
  good
• 6:57
  and
• 6:57
  that
• 6:57
  eventually,
• 6:58
  if
• 6:59
  everyone
• 6:59
  chooses
• 7:00
  good,
• 7:01
  the
• 7:01
  world
• 7:01
  will
• 7:02
  be
• 7:02
  peaceful
• 7:02
  and
• 7:03
  bright.
• 7:03
  In
• 7:03
  Zoroastrian
• 7:04
  belief,
• 7:05
  the
• 7:05
  battle
• 7:05
  between
• 7:06
  good
• 7:06
  and
• 7:06
  evil
• 7:06
  will
• 7:07
  end
• 7:07
  with
• 7:07
  goodness
• 7:08
  winning
• 7:08
  if
• 7:08
  people
• 7:09
  keep
• 7:09
  choosing
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  right
• 7:10
  path.
• 7:11
  Zoroastrians
• 7:12
  believe
• 7:12
  in
• 7:13
  one
• 7:13
  God.
• 7:14
  They
• 7:14
  were
• 7:14
  possibly
• 7:15
  the
• 7:15
  first
• 7:15
  major
• 7:16
  religion
• 7:16
  to
• 7:17
  teach
• 7:17
  about
• 7:17
  one
• 7:17
  God.
• 7:18
  They
• 7:18
  call
• 7:19
  this
• 7:19
  God.
• 7:19
  Ahura.
• 7:20
  Mazda,
• 7:20
  like
• 7:20
  we
• 7:20
  learned
• 7:21
  before,
• 7:21
  and
• 7:22
  that
• 7:22
  name
• 7:22
  means
• 7:22
  the
• 7:23
  wise
• 7:23
  Lord.
• 7:24
  Ahura
• 7:25
  Mazda
• 7:25
  is
• 7:26
  all
• 7:26
  good
• 7:26
  and
• 7:27
  he
• 7:27
  created
• 7:27
  the
• 7:27
  world
• 7:28
  and
• 7:28
  everything
• 7:28
  pure
• 7:29
  in
• 7:29
  it.
• 7:30
  But
• 7:30
  if
• 7:31
  there's
• 7:31
  one
• 7:32
  all
• 7:32
  good
• 7:33
  God,
• 7:34
  why
• 7:35
  is
• 7:35
  there
• 7:35
  bad
• 7:35
  stuff?
• 7:37
  Well,
• 7:37
  Zoroastrians
• 7:39
  explain
• 7:39
  it
• 7:39
  like
• 7:39
  this.
• 7:40
  Ahura
• 7:41
  Mazda
• 7:41
  created
• 7:42
  angels
• 7:42
  or
• 7:42
  spirits
• 7:43
  to
• 7:43
  help
• 7:43
  him.
• 7:44
  And
• 7:44
  one
• 7:45
  of
• 7:45
  those
• 7:45
  spirits
• 7:45
  chose
• 7:46
  to
• 7:46
  be
• 7:46
  bad.
• 7:47
  That's
• 7:48
  the
• 7:48
  origin
• 7:48
  of
• 7:48
  evil.
• 7:49
  Often
• 7:50
  given
• 7:50
  a
• 7:50
  name,
• 7:51
  Angara
• 7:51
  Mainyu,
• 7:53
  meaning
• 7:53
  the
• 7:53
  destructive
• 7:54
  spirit.
• 7:55
  So
• 7:56
  it's
• 7:56
  a
• 7:56
  corrupt
• 7:57
  spirit
• 7:57
  that
• 7:57
  brings
• 7:58
  things
• 7:58
  like
• 7:59
  lies,
• 8:00
  greed
• 8:00
  and
• 8:01
  harm.
• 8:02
  Humans
• 8:03
  are
• 8:03
  caught
• 8:03
  in
• 8:04
  between
• 8:04
  and
• 8:05
  we
• 8:05
  have
• 8:05
  to
• 8:05
  choose
• 8:06
  which
• 8:06
  influence
• 8:07
  to
• 8:07
  follow.
• 8:08
  Imagine
• 8:09
  a
• 8:09
  cartoon
• 8:10
  character
• 8:10
  with
• 8:10
  an
• 8:10
  angel
• 8:11
  on
• 8:11
  one
• 8:11
  shoulder
• 8:12
  and
• 8:12
  a
• 8:12
  devil
• 8:13
  on
• 8:13
  the
• 8:13
  other.
• 8:14
  That's
• 8:14
  kind
• 8:15
  of
• 8:15
  the
• 8:15
  idea
• 8:15
  Zoroastrians
• 8:17
  say,
• 8:17
  listen
• 8:17
  to
• 8:18
  that
• 8:18
  good
• 8:18
  whisper,
• 8:19
  choose
• 8:19
  the
• 8:20
  light.
• 8:21
  Zoroaster
• 8:22
  also
• 8:22
  taught
• 8:23
  that
• 8:23
  truth
• 8:23
  is
• 8:23
  sacred.
• 8:24
  In
• 8:24
  fact,
• 8:25
  they
• 8:25
  call
• 8:25
  truth
• 8:25
  asha,
• 8:26
  which
• 8:27
  means
• 8:27
  truth,
• 8:28
  order
• 8:28
  and
• 8:28
  righteousness.
• 8:30
  Living
• 8:30
  by
• 8:30
  asha
• 8:31
  brings
• 8:31
  you
• 8:31
  closer
• 8:32
  to
• 8:32
  God.
• 8:33
  One
• 8:34
  of
• 8:34
  the
• 8:34
  most
• 8:34
  powerful
• 8:35
  symbols
• 8:35
  in
• 8:35
  Zoroastrianism
• 8:37
  is
• 8:37
  fire.
• 8:38
  In
• 8:38
  Zoroastrian
• 8:39
  temples,
• 8:40
  called
• 8:40
  fire
• 8:41
  temples
• 8:41
  or
• 8:42
  Aguirre's,
• 8:43
  there's
• 8:44
  always
• 8:44
  a
• 8:44
  flame
• 8:45
  burning,
• 8:46
  sometimes
• 8:46
  for
• 8:47
  hundreds
• 8:47
  of
• 8:48
  years
• 8:48
  without
• 8:49
  ever
• 8:49
  going
• 8:49
  out.
• 8:50
  This
• 8:50
  sacred
• 8:50
  fire
• 8:51
  reminds
• 8:51
  people
• 8:52
  that
• 8:52
  the
• 8:52
  light
• 8:52
  of
• 8:52
  Ahura
• 8:53
  Mazda
• 8:54
  is
• 8:54
  always
• 8:55
  present.
• 8:56
  When
• 8:56
  they
• 8:56
  pray,
• 8:57
  Zoroastrians
• 8:58
  face
• 8:59
  the
• 8:59
  fire.
• 9:00
  They
• 9:00
  don't
• 9:00
  pray
• 9:00
  to
• 9:01
  the
• 9:01
  fire,
• 9:02
  they
• 9:02
  pray
• 9:02
  to
• 9:03
  God
• 9:03
  through
• 9:03
  the
• 9:03
  fire.
• 9:04
  This
• 9:04
  fire
• 9:05
  helps
• 9:05
  them
• 9:05
  focus
• 9:06
  on
• 9:06
  warmth,
• 9:07
  clarity
• 9:07
  and
• 9:08
  the
• 9:08
  light
• 9:08
  inside
• 9:09
  themselves.
• 9:11
  If
• 9:11
  you
• 9:11
  visit
• 9:12
  a
• 9:12
  fire
• 9:12
  temple,
• 9:13
  some
• 9:13
  are
• 9:14
  open
• 9:14
  to
• 9:14
  visitors,
• 9:15
  others
• 9:15
  are
• 9:15
  just
• 9:15
  for
• 9:16
  Zoroastrians.
• 9:17
  Anyway,
• 9:18
  if
• 9:18
  you
• 9:18
  visited
• 9:19
  fire
• 9:19
  temple,
• 9:19
  you'd
• 9:19
  see
• 9:20
  people
• 9:20
  cover
• 9:20
  their
• 9:21
  heads
• 9:21
  with
• 9:21
  a
• 9:21
  scarf
• 9:22
  or
• 9:22
  cap
• 9:23
  to
• 9:23
  show
• 9:23
  respect.
• 9:24
  And
• 9:25
  sometimes
• 9:25
  they
• 9:25
  wear
• 9:26
  the
• 9:26
  color
• 9:26
  white,
• 9:26
  the
• 9:27
  color
• 9:27
  of
• 9:27
  purity.
• 9:28
  Sacred
• 9:29
  fire
• 9:29
  is
• 9:30
  usually
• 9:30
  in
• 9:30
  a
• 9:30
  big
• 9:31
  bronze
• 9:31
  urn
• 9:32
  glowing
• 9:33
  in
• 9:33
  a
• 9:33
  quiet
• 9:34
  room.
• 9:35
  A
• 9:35
  fire
• 9:35
  that
• 9:36
  never
• 9:36
  ever
• 9:36
  goes
• 9:37
  out.
• 9:37
  That's
• 9:38
  awesome.
• 9:39
  It's
• 9:39
  like
• 9:39
  an
• 9:39
  eternal
• 9:40
  night
• 9:40
  light.
• 9:41
  I
• 9:41
  have
• 9:41
  a
• 9:41
  candle
• 9:42
  I
• 9:42
  light
• 9:42
  with
• 9:42
  my
• 9:42
  parents
• 9:43
  on
• 9:43
  special
• 9:43
  days.
• 9:44
  It
• 9:45
  makes
• 9:45
  me
• 9:45
  feel
• 9:45
  peaceful.
• 9:46
  I
• 9:46
  bet
• 9:47
  the
• 9:47
  fire
• 9:47
  temple
• 9:48
  feels
• 9:48
  like
• 9:48
  that
• 9:48
  times
• 9:49
  10.
• 9:49
  That
• 9:49
  peaceful,
• 9:50
  glowing
• 9:50
  feeling
• 9:51
  is
• 9:51
  what
• 9:52
  many
• 9:52
  Zoroastrians
• 9:53
  experience
• 9:54
  when
• 9:54
  they
• 9:54
  pray.
• 9:56
  Zoroastrians
• 9:57
  also
• 9:57
  wear
• 9:58
  reminders
• 9:58
  of
• 9:58
  their
• 9:59
  beliefs.
• 9:59
  Every

  day

  around

  ages
• 10:01
  7

  Zoroastrian

  children

  called

  Navhot

  in

  India
• 10:07
  or
• 10:08
  cedrepushi
• 10:09
  in

  Iran.
• 10:11
  In

  this

  rite
• 10:11
  of

  their
• 10:24
  waist
• 10:24
  three
• 10:25
  times.
• 10:26
  Why
• 10:26
  do
• 10:26
  you
• 10:26
  think
• 10:27
  they
• 10:27
  wrap
• 10:27
  it
• 10:27
  three
• 10:28
  times?
• 10:30
  You
• 10:30
  guessed
• 10:31
  it.
• 10:31
  Good
• 10:32
  thoughts,
• 10:32
  good
• 10:32
  words,
• 10:33
  good
• 10:33
  deeds.
• 10:35
  After
• 10:35
  this
• 10:35
  ceremony,
• 10:36
  the
• 10:36
  child
• 10:36
  is
• 10:37
  considered
• 10:37
  an
• 10:37
  official
• 10:38
  member
• 10:38
  of
• 10:38
  the
• 10:38
  Zoroastrian
• 10:39
  community.
• 10:41
  From
• 10:41
  then
• 10:41
  on,
• 10:41
  they
• 10:41
  untie
• 10:42
  and
• 10:42
  retie
• 10:43
  their
• 10:43
  kusti
• 10:44
  each
• 10:44
  day
• 10:44
  during
• 10:44
  prayers,
• 10:45
  using
• 10:46
  that
• 10:46
  moment
• 10:46
  to
• 10:47
  recommit
• 10:47
  to
• 10:48
  living
• 10:48
  with
• 10:48
  truth
• 10:49
  and
• 10:49
  light.
• 10:50
  They
• 10:50
  say
• 10:51
  sacred
• 10:51
  hymns,
• 10:51
  many
• 10:52
  from
• 10:52
  the
• 10:52
  Avesta,
• 10:53
  their
• 10:53
  holy
• 10:54
  book.
• 10:54
  Some
• 10:55
  of
• 10:55
  these
• 10:55
  hymns,
• 10:55
  called
• 10:55
  the
• 10:56
  Gothas,
• 10:56
  were
• 10:57
  said
• 10:57
  to
• 10:57
  be
• 10:57
  written
• 10:57
  by
• 10:57
  Zoroaster
• 10:58
  himself.
• 11:00
  Zoroaster
• 11:00
  also
• 11:01
  taught
• 11:01
  deep
• 11:01
  respect
• 11:02
  for
• 11:02
  nature.
• 11:03
  The
• 11:03
  earth,
• 11:04
  sky,
• 11:05
  water,
• 11:06
  plants
• 11:06
  and
• 11:06
  animals
• 11:07
  were
• 11:07
  all
• 11:08
  created
• 11:08
  by
• 11:08
  Ahura
• 11:09
  Mazda.
• 11:10
  So
• 11:10
  polluting
• 11:10
  or
• 11:11
  harming
• 11:11
  them
• 11:11
  disrespectfully
• 11:12
  respects
• 11:12
  the
• 11:13
  divine.
• 11:14
  Zoroastrians
• 11:15
  were
• 11:15
  early
• 11:16
  eco
• 11:16
  guardians,
• 11:17
  careful
• 11:18
  not
• 11:18
  to
• 11:18
  throw
• 11:18
  waste
• 11:19
  in
• 11:19
  rivers
• 11:19
  or
• 11:20
  harm
• 11:20
  fire
• 11:21
  or
• 11:21
  soil.
• 11:22
  So
• 11:22
  they
• 11:22
  love
• 11:22
  the
• 11:23
  earth
• 11:23
  because
• 11:23
  it's
• 11:24
  sacred?
• 11:24
  Like
• 11:24
  many
• 11:25
  indigenous
• 11:25
  peoples,
• 11:27
  yes,
• 11:28
  protecting
• 11:28
  nature
• 11:29
  is
• 11:29
  a
• 11:29
  way
• 11:29
  of
• 11:29
  honoring
• 11:30
  God's
• 11:30
  creation.
• 11:31
  Modern
• 11:32
  Zoroastrians
• 11:33
  often
• 11:33
  are
• 11:34
  active
• 11:34
  in
• 11:34
  environmental
• 11:35
  causes,
• 11:36
  which
• 11:36
  is
• 11:36
  something
• 11:37
  we
• 11:37
  can
• 11:37
  all
• 11:37
  be
• 11:37
  inspired
• 11:38
  by.
• 11:39
  Through
• 11:39
  war,
• 11:40
  empires
• 11:41
  and
• 11:41
  change,
• 11:41
  Zoroastrians
• 11:43
  have
• 11:43
  kept
• 11:43
  their
• 11:43
  flame
• 11:44
  of
• 11:44
  faith
• 11:44
  alive.
• 11:45
  Today
• 11:46
  they
• 11:46
  are
• 11:46
  one
• 11:46
  of
• 11:47
  the
• 11:47
  smallest
• 11:47
  major
• 11:48
  religions,
• 11:48
  with
• 11:49
  around
• 11:49
  100,000
• 11:50
  to
• 11:50
  200,000
• 11:51
  followers
• 11:52
  worldwide.
• 11:53
  Most
• 11:54
  live
• 11:54
  in
• 11:54
  India,
• 11:55
  where
• 11:55
  they're
• 11:55
  called
• 11:56
  Parsis
• 11:56
  and
• 11:57
  Iran,
• 11:58
  with
• 11:58
  smaller
• 11:58
  communities
• 11:59
  around
• 11:59
  the
• 12:00
  globe.
• 12:00
  But
• 12:01
  even
• 12:01
  though
• 12:01
  their
• 12:01
  numbers
• 12:02
  are
• 12:02
  small,
• 12:03
  their
• 12:03
  influence
• 12:04
  and
• 12:04
  message
• 12:05
  shine
• 12:05
  brightly.
• 12:11
  Before
• 12:11
  we
• 12:12
  move
• 12:12
  on,
• 12:12
  let's
• 12:13
  have
• 12:13
  a
• 12:13
  quick
• 12:13
  joke
• 12:14
  break.
• 12:14
  We've
• 12:15
  learned
• 12:15
  a
• 12:16
  lot,
• 12:16
  so
• 12:16
  let's
• 12:17
  lighten
• 12:17
  up.
• 12:18
  Get
• 12:18
  it?
• 12:19
  Lighten
• 12:20
  like
• 12:20
  light
• 12:23
  first.
• 12:23
  What's
• 12:24
  a
• 12:24
  Zoroastrian's
• 12:25
  favorite
• 12:25
  snack?
• 12:26
  What?
• 12:27
  Firecrackers.
• 12:30
  Oh,
• 12:30
  oh,
• 12:31
  okay,
• 12:31
  one
• 12:31
  more.
• 12:32
  What
• 12:32
  kind
• 12:33
  of
• 12:33
  car
• 12:33
  does
• 12:33
  a
• 12:33
  Zoroastrian
• 12:34
  drive?
• 12:35
  I
• 12:35
  don't
• 12:35
  know.
• 12:36
  A
• 12:36
  Mazda.
• 12:37
  Of
• 12:37
  course.
• 12:41
  Feeling
• 12:41
  lighter
• 12:42
  laughter
• 12:42
  is
• 12:43
  good
• 12:43
  for
• 12:43
  the
• 12:43
  soul.
• 12:44
  Zoroaster
• 12:45
  might
• 12:45
  approve,
• 12:46
  since
• 12:46
  good
• 12:46
  cheer
• 12:47
  is
• 12:47
  definitely
• 12:48
  a
• 12:48
  good
• 12:48
  thought.
• 12:53
  Now
• 12:54
  let's
• 12:54
  take
• 12:54
  a
• 12:54
  journey
• 12:55
  in
• 12:55
  our
• 12:55
  minds
• 12:56
  to

  experience
• 12:56
  something
• 12:57
  very

  special
• 12:58
  in

  Zoroastrian
• 12:59
  traditional

  that's

  full

  light,
• 13:02
  joy
• 13:03
  and
• 13:03
  fresh
• 13:04
  beginnings.
• 13:05
  It's
• 13:05
  called
• 13:05
  Nowruz.
• 13:06
  That
• 13:06
  means
• 13:07
  new
• 13:07
  day
• 13:07
  in

  Persian.
• 13:08
  And

  it's

  the

  Zoroastrian

  New

  of

  for

  the

  ancient

  And

  Nowruz.
• 13:31
  It's
• 13:32
  early
• 13:32
  morning.
• 13:33
  You've
• 13:33
  just
• 13:34
  woken

  you

  feel

  the

  The

  Everything

• 13:40
  swept,
• 13:41
  dusted
• 13:41
  and

  spring
• 13:43
  cleaning
• 13:43
  is

  a

  must.
• 13:44
  Before

  Naurus,

  it's

  Cleaning

  The

  sweet,

  like

  It's

  still
• 14:58
  cool,
• 14:59
  but
• 14:59
  the
• 14:59
  sun
• 14:59
  is
• 15:00
  rising
• 15:00
  higher,
• 15:01
  bringing
• 15:01
  light.
• 15:02
  You
• 15:03
  plant
• 15:03
  a
• 15:03
  little
• 15:03
  seed
• 15:04
  in
• 15:04
  the
• 15:04
  ground.
• 15:05
  It's
• 15:05
  a
• 15:05
  way
• 15:05
  of
• 15:06
  saying
• 15:06
  thank
• 15:06
  you
• 15:06
  to
• 15:06
  the
• 15:06
  earth
• 15:07
  and
• 15:07
  promising
• 15:08
  to
• 15:08
  care
• 15:08
  for
• 15:09
  it
• 15:09
  in
• 15:09
  the
• 15:09
  year
• 15:09
  ahead.
• 15:11
  As
• 15:11
  the
• 15:11
  sun
• 15:12
  sets,
• 15:12
  something
• 15:13
  magical
• 15:13
  happens.
• 15:14
  You
• 15:15
  join
• 15:15
  the
• 15:15
  community
• 15:16
  in
• 15:16
  a
• 15:16
  park
• 15:16
  or
• 15:17
  open
• 15:17
  courtyard.
• 15:18
  Small
• 15:19
  bonfires
• 15:19
  flicker
• 15:20
  in
• 15:20
  the
• 15:20
  dusk.
• 15:21
  This
• 15:21
  is
• 15:22
  Chahar
• 15:22
  Shanbi,
• 15:24
  the
• 15:25
  fire
• 15:25
  jumping
• 15:25
  celebration
• 15:26
  held
• 15:27
  right
• 15:27
  before
• 15:27
  Nowruz
• 15:28
  begins.
• 15:29
  The
• 15:29
  fires
• 15:29
  aren't
• 15:30
  big,
• 15:30
  just
• 15:30
  little
• 15:31
  flame
• 15:31
  piles,
• 15:32
  but
• 15:32
  they
• 15:32
  dance
• 15:32
  brightly
• 15:33
  in
• 15:33
  the
• 15:33
  wind.
• 15:34
  You
• 15:35
  take
• 15:35
  a
• 15:35
  deep
• 15:35
  breath,
• 15:36
  grab
• 15:37
  the
• 15:37
  hand
• 15:37
  of
• 15:37
  a
• 15:37
  friend
• 15:38
  and
• 15:38
  together
• 15:39
  you
• 15:39
  leap
• 15:39
  over
• 15:40
  the
• 15:40
  fire,
• 15:40
  shouting
• 15:41
  a
• 15:41
  very
• 15:41
  old
• 15:41
  rhyme
• 15:42
  that
• 15:42
  means,
• 15:43
  give
• 15:43
  me
• 15:43
  your
• 15:44
  glowing
• 15:44
  red
• 15:44
  cheeks
• 15:45
  and
• 15:45
  take
• 15:45
  away
• 15:46
  my
• 15:46
  pale
• 15:46
  ones.
• 15:47
  In
• 15:47
  other
• 15:48
  words,
• 15:48
  take
• 15:49
  my
• 15:49
  sickness,
• 15:50
  my
• 15:50
  fear,
• 15:50
  my
• 15:50
  sadness,
• 15:52
  and
• 15:52
  give
• 15:52
  me
• 15:52
  your
• 15:52
  health
• 15:53
  and
• 15:53
  strength.
• 15:55
  People
• 15:55
  cheer
• 15:56
  as
• 15:56
  each
• 15:56
  person
• 15:57
  jumps.
• 15:58
  There's
• 15:58
  laughter,
• 15:59
  sparklers,
• 16:00
  music
• 16:00
  and
• 16:01
  joy
• 16:01
  in
• 16:01
  the
• 16:02
  the
• 16:02
  air.
• 16:02
  It
• 16:03
  feels
• 16:03
  like
• 16:03
  the
• 16:03
  whole
• 16:04
  world
• 16:04
  is
• 16:04
  letting
• 16:04
  go
• 16:05
  of
• 16:05
  the
• 16:05
  past
• 16:05
  and
• 16:06
  stepping
• 16:06
  forward
• 16:06
  into
• 16:07
  something
• 16:07
  beautiful.
• 16:08
  Larous
• 16:09
  celebrates
• 16:10
  light
• 16:10
  winning
• 16:11
  over
• 16:11
  darkness.
• 16:12
  After
• 16:13
  the
• 16:13
  spring
• 16:13
  equinox,
• 16:14
  the
• 16:15
  days
• 16:15
  become
• 16:15
  longer
• 16:16
  than
• 16:16
  the
• 16:16
  nights.
• 16:17
  That's
• 16:18
  why
• 16:18
  this
• 16:18
  new
• 16:18
  year
• 16:19
  is
• 16:19
  filled
• 16:19
  with
• 16:19
  hope,
• 16:20
  warmth
• 16:21
  and
• 16:21
  new
• 16:22
  beginnings.
• 16:23
  Now
• 16:24
  make
• 16:24
  a
• 16:24
  silent
• 16:25
  promise
• 16:25
  to
• 16:25
  yourself,
• 16:27
  something
• 16:27
  kind
• 16:27
  you'll
• 16:28
  do
• 16:28
  this
• 16:28
  year.
• 16:29
  Maybe
• 16:30
  you'll
• 16:30
  help
• 16:30
  more
• 16:31
  at
• 16:31
  home.
• 16:32
  Maybe
• 16:32
  you'll
• 16:32
  try
• 16:32
  to
• 16:33
  speak
• 16:33
  more
• 16:33
  gently.
• 16:34
  Maybe
• 16:35
  you'll
• 16:35
  protect
• 16:35
  nature
• 16:36
  like
• 16:36
  Zoroaster
• 16:37
  taught.
• 16:38
  Whatever
• 16:38
  you
• 16:39
  choose,
• 16:39
  let
• 16:39
  it
• 16:39
  be
• 16:39
  your
• 16:40
  gift
• 16:40
  to
• 16:40
  this
• 16:40
  new
• 16:41
  day.
• 16:41
  When
• 16:42
  you're
• 16:42
  ready,
• 16:43
  slowly
• 16:43
  open
• 16:43
  your
• 16:44
  eyes.
• 16:44
  If
• 16:44
  they
• 16:44
  were
• 16:45
  closed.
• 16:46
  How
• 16:46
  was
• 16:46
  your
• 16:47
  first
• 16:47
  narus?
• 16:48
  If
• 16:49
  you're
• 16:49
  smiling,
• 16:49
  I
• 16:50
  think
• 16:50
  you
• 16:50
  did
• 16:50
  it
• 16:51
  just
• 16:51
  right.
• 16:51
  My
• 16:52
  family
• 16:52
  celebrates
• 16:53
  Narus.
• 16:54
  We
• 16:54
  do
• 16:54
  the
• 16:54
  haftseam
• 16:55
  table
• 16:56
  with
• 16:56
  sprouts
• 16:56
  and
• 16:57
  the
• 16:57
  goldfish.
• 16:58
  It's
• 16:58
  my
• 16:58
  favorite
• 16:59
  holiday
• 16:59
  because
• 16:59
  everyone
• 17:00
  is
• 17:00
  happy
• 17:01
  and
• 17:01
  I
• 17:01
  get
• 17:01
  money.
• 17:02
  I
• 17:02
  love
• 17:02
  hearing
• 17:03
  that.
• 17:04
  Nowruz
• 17:04
  truly
• 17:05
  is
• 17:05
  a
• 17:05
  joyful
• 17:06
  time
• 17:06
  that
• 17:06
  anyone
• 17:07
  can
• 17:07
  appreciate.
• 17:08
  A
• 17:08
  celebration
• 17:09
  of
• 17:09
  renewal
• 17:10
  and
• 17:10
  the
• 17:10
  victory
• 17:11
  of
• 17:11
  light
• 17:12
  and
• 17:12
  life.
• 17:17
  One
• 17:18
  of
• 17:18
  the
• 17:18
  most
• 17:18
  beautiful
• 17:18
  things
• 17:19
  about
• 17:19
  exploring
• 17:20
  different
• 17:20
  beliefs
• 17:20
  is
• 17:21
  is
• 17:21
  discovering
• 17:22
  how
• 17:22
  they
• 17:22
  connect,
• 17:23
  like
• 17:24
  little
• 17:24
  bridges
• 17:24
  of
• 17:24
  friendship
• 17:25
  between
• 17:25
  people,
• 17:26
  even
• 17:27
  when
• 17:27
  their
• 17:27
  traditions
• 17:28
  are
• 17:28
  very
• 17:28
  different.
• 17:30
  Zoroastrianism
• 17:31
  is
• 17:31
  a
• 17:31
  unique
• 17:31
  and
• 17:32
  ancient
• 17:32
  faith,
• 17:33
  but
• 17:33
  guess
• 17:34
  what?
• 17:34
  Some
• 17:35
  of
• 17:35
  its
• 17:35
  symbols
• 17:35
  and
• 17:35
  ideas
• 17:36
  appear
• 17:37
  across
• 17:37
  the
• 17:37
  world
• 17:38
  in
• 17:38
  many
• 17:39
  cultures
• 17:39
  and
• 17:39
  religions.
• 17:41
  Let's
• 17:41
  take
• 17:41
  one
• 17:42
  shining
• 17:43
  light.
• 17:44
  Zoroastrians
• 17:46
  honor
• 17:46
  fire
• 17:46
  and
• 17:46
  light
• 17:47
  as
• 17:47
  symbols
• 17:47
  of
• 17:47
  truth,
• 17:48
  goodness.
• 17:48
  And
• 17:49
  the
• 17:49
  divine
• 17:50
  light
• 17:50
  represents
• 17:51
  all
• 17:51
  that
• 17:52
  is
• 17:52
  pure
• 17:52
  and
• 17:52
  hopeful.
• 17:54
  But
• 17:54
  they're
• 17:54
  not
• 17:54
  the
• 17:54
  only
• 17:55
  ones.
• 17:56
  Look
• 17:56
  at
• 17:56
  how
• 17:56
  light
• 17:56
  shows
• 17:57
  up
• 17:57
  across
• 17:57
  so
• 17:58
  many
• 17:58
  faiths.
• 17:59
  In
• 18:00
  the
• 18:00
  Jewish
• 18:00
  faith,
• 18:01
  lighting
• 18:01
  candles
• 18:02
  is
• 18:02
  part
• 18:02
  of
• 18:02
  Shabbat,
• 18:03
  a
• 18:03
  weekly
• 18:03
  celebration
• 18:04
  of
• 18:04
  rest
• 18:04
  and
• 18:05
  connection.
• 18:06
  We
• 18:06
  explored
• 18:07
  this
• 18:07
  more
• 18:07
  deeply
• 18:08
  in
• 18:08
  our
• 18:08
  Shabbat
• 18:08
  episode,
• 18:09
  so
• 18:09
  give
• 18:09
  it
• 18:09
  a
• 18:09
  listen
• 18:10
  if
• 18:10
  you're
• 18:10
  curious.
• 18:11
  And
• 18:12
  during
• 18:12
  Hanukkah,
• 18:12
  Jewish
• 18:13
  families
• 18:13
  light
• 18:13
  candles
• 18:14
  for
• 18:14
  eight
• 18:14
  nights
• 18:15
  to
• 18:15
  remember
• 18:15
  an
• 18:15
  ancient
• 18:16
  miracle.
• 18:16
  In
• 18:17
  Hinduism
• 18:17
  and
• 18:17
  Sikhism,
• 18:18
  there's
• 18:18
  Diwali,
• 18:19
  the
• 18:20
  festival
• 18:20
  of
• 18:20
  lights,
• 18:21
  where
• 18:21
  homes
• 18:21
  and
• 18:21
  streets
• 18:22
  glow
• 18:22
  with
• 18:22
  little
• 18:23
  oil
• 18:23
  lamps
• 18:23
  to
• 18:24
  celebrate
• 18:24
  the
• 18:24
  victory
• 18:25
  of
• 18:25
  good
• 18:25
  over
• 18:26
  evil.
• 18:27
  We'll
• 18:27
  learn
• 18:27
  about
• 18:27
  that
• 18:28
  later
• 18:28
  this
• 18:28
  year.
• 18:29
  In
• 18:29
  Christianity,
• 18:30
  candles
• 18:31
  shine
• 18:31
  brightly
• 18:31
  in
• 18:32
  churches
• 18:32
  at
• 18:32
  Christmas
• 18:33
  and
• 18:33
  Easter,
• 18:34
  symbolizing
• 18:34
  the
• 18:34
  light
• 18:35
  of
• 18:35
  Jesus
• 18:35
  and
• 18:35
  the
• 18:36
  hope
• 18:36
  of
• 18:36
  new
• 18:36
  life.
• 18:37
  We
• 18:37
  even
• 18:38
  saw
• 18:38
  this
• 18:38
  in
• 18:38
  the
• 18:38
  baptism
• 18:39
  episode,
• 18:39
  where
• 18:40
  candles
• 18:40
  represent
• 18:41
  spiritual
• 18:41
  awakening.
• 18:43
  Even
• 18:43
  people
• 18:44
  who
• 18:44
  don't
• 18:44
  follow
• 18:44
  any
• 18:45
  specific
• 18:45
  religion
• 18:46
  often
• 18:46
  use
• 18:47
  light
• 18:47
  in
• 18:47
  meaningful
• 18:47
  ways,
• 18:48
  like
• 18:49
  lighting
• 18:49
  candles
• 18:49
  on
• 18:50
  birthdays,
• 18:50
  during
• 18:51
  memorials,
• 18:51
  or
• 18:52
  at
• 18:52
  candlelight
• 18:52
  vigils.
• 18:53
  They
• 18:54
  do
• 18:54
  this
• 18:54
  to
• 18:54
  mark
• 18:54
  important
• 18:55
  moments,
• 18:56
  express
• 18:56
  love,
• 18:57
  or
• 18:57
  remember
• 18:58
  someone
• 18:58
  that
• 18:58
  was
• 18:58
  special
• 18:58
  to
• 18:59
  them.
• 19:00
  Isn't
• 19:01
  that
• 19:01
  amazing?
• 19:02
  Around
• 19:02
  the
• 19:02
  globe,
• 19:03
  humans
• 19:03
  seem
• 19:04
  drawn
• 19:04
  to
• 19:04
  the
• 19:04
  idea
• 19:05
  of
• 19:05
  light
• 19:05
  pushing
• 19:06
  away
• 19:06
  darkness.
• 19:07
  It's
• 19:07
  a
• 19:08
  symbol
• 19:08
  that
• 19:08
  brings
• 19:08
  comfort,
• 19:09
  connection,
• 19:10
  and
• 19:10
  courage,
• 19:11
  no
• 19:11
  matter
• 19:12
  where
• 19:12
  you
• 19:12
  live
• 19:12

  now,

  here's

• 19:19
  Have
• 19:19
  you
• 19:19
  ever
• 19:20
  heard
• 19:20
  of
• 19:20
  the
• 19:20
  three
• 19:20
  wise
• 19:21
  men
• 19:21
  from
• 19:21
  the
• 19:21
  Christmas
• 19:22
  story?
• 19:23
  You
• 19:23
  know,
• 19:23
  the
• 19:23
  magi
• 19:24
  who
• 19:24
  followed
• 19:24
  a
• 19:24
  bright
• 19:25
  star
• 19:25
  to
• 19:25
  find
• 19:26
  baby
• 19:26
  Jesus,
• 19:27
  and
• 19:27
  they
• 19:27
  brought
• 19:27
  gifts
• 19:28
  of
• 19:28
  gold,
• 19:28
  frankincense
• 19:29
  and
• 19:29
  myrrh.
• 19:30
  Well,
• 19:31
  here's
• 19:31
  the
• 19:31
  exciting
• 19:32
  twist.
• 19:33
  Many
• 19:34
  historians
• 19:34
  believe
• 19:35
  those
• 19:35
  magi
• 19:36
  were
• 19:36
  actually
• 19:36
  Zoroastrian
• 19:38
  priests
• 19:38
  from
• 19:39
  ancient
• 19:39
  Persia.
• 19:40
  The
• 19:40
  word
• 19:41
  magi
• 19:41
  comes
• 19:42
  from
• 19:42
  a
• 19:42
  term
• 19:43
  used
• 19:43
  for
• 19:44
  Zoroastrian
• 19:45
  astrologer
• 19:46
  priests,
• 19:47
  people
• 19:48
  who
• 19:48
  studied
• 19:48
  the
• 19:49
  stars
• 19:49
  and
• 19:49
  looked
• 19:50
  for
• 19:50
  signs
• 19:50
  of
• 19:50
  wisdom
• 19:51
  and
• 19:52
  wonder
• 19:52
  in
• 19:53
  the
• 19:53
  night
• 19:53
  sky.
• 19:55
  These
• 19:55
  star
• 19:55
  watchers
• 19:56
  may
• 19:56
  have
• 19:56
  believed
• 19:57
  that
• 19:57
  something
• 19:57
  very
• 19:58
  special
• 19:58
  was
• 19:58
  happening
• 19:59
  when
• 19:59
  they
• 19:59
  saw
• 19:59
  that
• 19:59
  brilliant
• 20:00
  star
• 20:00
  in
• 20:00
  the
• 20:01
  sky.
• 20:02
  So
• 20:02
  in
• 20:03
  all
• 20:03
  ways,
• 20:03
  Zoroastrians
• 20:04
  may
• 20:05
  have
• 20:05
  been
• 20:05
  a
• 20:05
  part
• 20:05
  of
• 20:06
  the
• 20:06
  very
• 20:06
  first
• 20:06
  Christmas
• 20:07
  story.
• 20:08
  This
• 20:08
  is
• 20:08
  a
• 20:08
  powerful
• 20:09
  example
• 20:09
  of
• 20:10
  how
• 20:10
  people
• 20:10
  of
• 20:10
  different
• 20:11
  faiths,
• 20:12
  even
• 20:12
  thousands
• 20:13
  of
• 20:13
  years
• 20:13
  ago,
• 20:14
  could
• 20:15
  interact,
• 20:16
  share
• 20:16
  wisdom
• 20:16
  and
• 20:17
  honor,
• 20:17
  something
• 20:17
  sacred
• 20:18
  together.
• 20:19
  So
• 20:20
  even
• 20:20
  though
• 20:20
  Zoroastrianism
• 20:22
  stands
• 20:22
  on
• 20:22
  its
• 20:22
  own,
• 20:23
  with
• 20:23
  its
• 20:23
  own
• 20:23
  rich
• 20:24
  traditions
• 20:24
  and
• 20:25
  teachings,
• 20:26
  it's
• 20:26
  also
• 20:26
  woven
• 20:27
  into
• 20:27
  the
• 20:27
  big
• 20:27
  story
• 20:28
  of
• 20:28
  human
• 20:28
  belief.
• 20:29
  Through
• 20:30
  symbols
• 20:30
  like
• 20:30
  light,
• 20:31
  values
• 20:32
  like
• 20:32
  truth,
• 20:33
  and
• 20:33
  stories
• 20:33
  of
• 20:33
  kindness
• 20:34
  and
• 20:34
  curiosity,
• 20:36
  we
• 20:36
  can
• 20:36
  find
• 20:36
  threads
• 20:37
  that
• 20:37
  unite
• 20:37
  across
• 20:38
  cultures
• 20:38
  and
• 20:39
  religions.
• 20:41
  That's
• 20:41
  what
• 20:41
  our
• 20:41
  friendship
• 20:42
  bridge
• 20:42
  is
• 20:42
  all
• 20:42
  about.
• 20:43
  Understanding
• 20:44
  and
• 20:44
  respect
• 20:45
  across
• 20:45
  different
• 20:45
  beliefs.
• 20:46
  Because
• 20:47
  when
• 20:47
  we
• 20:47
  build
• 20:48
  those
• 20:48
  bridges,
• 20:49
  we
• 20:49
  light
• 20:49
  the
• 20:49
  way
• 20:50
  together.
• 20:56
  Let's
• 20:56
  play
• 20:56
  a
• 20:56
  quick
• 20:57
  and
• 20:57
  fiery
• 20:57
  game
• 20:58
  to
• 20:58
  light
• 20:58
  up
• 20:58
  everything
• 20:59
  we've
• 20:59
  learned
• 21:00
  today.
• 21:00
  It's
• 21:01
  time
• 21:01
  for
• 21:02
  the
• 21:02
  Fire
• 21:02
  and
• 21:03
  Light
• 21:03
  quiz.
• 21:05
  Here's
• 21:05
  how
• 21:05
  it
• 21:06
  I'll
• 21:06
  read
• 21:06
  a
• 21:07
  statement.
• 21:07
  If
• 21:08
  you
• 21:08
  think
• 21:08
  it's
• 21:08
  true,
• 21:08
  shout
• 21:09
  asha,
• 21:10
  because
• 21:10
  asha
• 21:11
  means
• 21:11
  truth,
• 21:11
  order
• 21:11
  and
• 21:12
  righteousness.
• 21:13
  While
• 21:13
  you
• 21:13
  shout
• 21:14
  asha,
• 21:14
  stretch
• 21:15
  your
• 21:15
  arms
• 21:15
  high
• 21:15
  like
• 21:16
  a
• 21:16
  flame
• 21:16
  reaching
• 21:17
  for
• 21:17
  the
• 21:17
  sky.
• 21:18
  If
• 21:18
  you
• 21:18
  think
• 21:18
  it's
• 21:19
  false,
• 21:19
  yell
• 21:20
  druige.
• 21:21
  That's
• 21:21
  the
• 21:21
  Zoroastrian
• 21:22
  word
• 21:23
  for
• 21:23
  lies
• 21:23
  and
• 21:24
  disorder.
• 21:25
  Crouch
• 21:25
  down
• 21:25
  low
• 21:26
  like
• 21:26
  you're
• 21:27
  hiding
• 21:27
  in
• 21:27
  the
• 21:27
  shadows
• 21:28
  of
• 21:28
  darkness.
• 21:30
  Get
• 21:30
  those
• 21:30
  bodies
• 21:30
  moving
• 21:31
  and
• 21:31
  your
• 21:31
  brains
• 21:32
  glowing.
• 21:34
  Zoroastrians
• 21:35
  believe
• 21:35
  in
• 21:36
  one
• 21:36
  God,
• 21:39
  yes?
• 21:40
  True.
• 21:40
  They
• 21:41
  are
• 21:41
  monotheistic,
• 21:42
  which
• 21:42
  means
• 21:42
  they
• 21:43
  believe
• 21:43
  in
• 21:43
  one
• 21:43
  God.
• 21:44
  And
• 21:44
  it
• 21:44
  is
• 21:44
  Ahara
• 21:45
  Mazda.
• 21:46
  Zoroastrianism
• 21:48
  started
• 21:49
  in
• 21:49
  ancient
• 21:49
  Persia
• 21:50
  and
• 21:50
  is

  one

  of

  the

  oldest

  religions.
• 21:56
  Asha

  Correct.
• 21:57
  It
• 21:57
  began
• 21:58
  in
• 21:58
  Persia
• 21:58
  or
• 21:59
  what
• 21:59
  we
• 21:59
  now
• 21:59
  call
• 22:00
  Iran,
• 22:00
  and
• 22:00
  is

  indeed

  among

  the

  oldest

  faiths

  that

• 22:15
  That's

  definitely

  false.
• 22:16
  Quite

  the

  opposite.
• 22:17
  It's

  Math

  Yes,

  Learn
• 28:30
  from
• 28:30
  it,
• 28:31
  O
• 28:31
  King.
• 28:31
  The
• 28:32
  king
• 28:32
  woke
• 28:32
  up
• 28:33
  with
• 28:33
  a
• 28:33
  gasp.
• 28:34
  What
• 28:34
  a
• 28:34
  dream.
• 28:36
  But
• 28:36
  get
• 28:36
  this.
• 28:37
  That
• 28:38
  very
• 28:38
  morning,
• 28:39
  guards
• 28:39
  came
• 28:39
  rushing
• 28:40
  in.
• 28:40
  Your
• 28:40
  Majesty,
• 28:41
  a
• 28:41
  traveler
• 28:41
  named
• 28:42
  Zoroaster
• 28:42
  waits
• 28:43
  at
• 28:43
  the
• 28:43
  gate.
• 28:43
  It
• 28:44
  was
• 28:44
  the
• 28:44
  same
• 28:44
  man
• 28:45
  from
• 28:45
  his
• 28:45
  dream.
• 28:46
  The
• 28:47
  king
• 28:47
  welcomed
• 28:47
  him
• 28:48
  in.
• 28:49
  Zoroaster
• 28:50
  entered
• 28:51
  in
• 28:51
  white
• 28:51
  robes,
• 28:52
  his
• 28:52
  eyes
• 28:53
  kind,
• 28:53
  his
• 28:54
  words
• 28:54
  wise.
• 28:55
  If
• 28:55
  you
• 28:56
  can
• 28:56
  answer
• 28:56
  my
• 28:56
  advisors
• 28:57
  trickiest
• 28:57
  questions,
• 28:58
  the
• 28:58
  king
• 28:58
  said,
• 28:59
  then
• 28:59
  I'll
• 28:59
  believe
• 29:00
  you.
• 29:00
  The
• 29:00
  royal
• 29:01
  advisors
• 29:02
  asked
• 29:02
  question
• 29:02
  after
• 29:03
  question
• 29:03
  about
• 29:04
  the
• 29:04
  earth.
• 29:04
  Earth,
• 29:04
  the
• 29:05
  stars,
• 29:05
  good
• 29:06
  and
• 29:06
  evil,
• 29:06
  even
• 29:07
  the
• 29:07
  meaning
• 29:07
  of
• 29:07
  life.
• 29:08
  Zoroaster
• 29:09
  answered
• 29:10
  them
• 29:10
  all.
• 29:11
  Impressed,
• 29:12
  King
• 29:12
  Vistaspa
• 29:13
  said
• 29:14
  Zoroaster,
• 29:14
  teach
• 29:15
  me
• 29:15
  more.
• 29:15
  He
• 29:16
  gave
• 29:16
  him
• 29:16
  a
• 29:16
  room
• 29:16
  in
• 29:17
  the
• 29:17
  palace,
• 29:17
  and
• 29:17
  they
• 29:17
  talked
• 29:18
  every
• 29:18
  day.
• 29:19
  But
• 29:20
  not
• 29:20
  everyone
• 29:20
  was
• 29:21
  happy.
• 29:22
  The
• 29:22
  king's
• 29:22
  other
• 29:22
  calumfleurs
• 29:23
  got
• 29:24
  jealous,
• 29:25
  fuming,
• 29:26
  scheming.
• 29:27
  One
• 29:27
  night,
• 29:28
  they
• 29:28
  pressed
• 29:28
  into
• 29:29
  Zoroaster's
• 29:30
  room
• 29:30
  and
• 29:30
  changed
• 29:30
  with
• 29:31
  bones
• 29:31
  and
• 29:31
  skulls,
• 29:33
  trying
• 29:33
  to
• 29:33
  make
• 29:33
  it
• 29:33
  look
• 29:34
  like
• 29:34
  he
• 29:34
  practiced
• 29:34
  black
• 29:35
  magic.
• 29:36
  The
• 29:36
  next
• 29:37
  day,
• 29:37
  they
• 29:37
  shouted
• 29:38
  to
• 29:38
  the
• 29:38
  king,
• 29:38
  look
• 29:39
  what
• 29:39
  we
• 29:39
  found.
• 29:39
  Sauroester
• 29:40
  is
• 29:40
  a
• 29:40
  sorcerer.
• 29:41
  The
• 29:41
  king
• 29:41
  hesitated.
• 29:43
  Could
• 29:43
  it
• 29:43
  be
• 29:44
  true?
• 29:45
  Guards
• 29:46
  searched
• 29:46
  Zoroaster's
• 29:47
  room
• 29:48
  and
• 29:49
  found
• 29:49
  the
• 29:49
  bones.
• 29:51
  Zoroaster
• 29:52
  tried
• 29:52
  to
• 29:52
  speak
• 29:52
  the
• 29:53
  truth.
• 29:53
  I
• 29:53
  have
• 29:53
  been
• 29:54
  framed.
• 29:54
  I
• 29:55
  follow
• 29:55
  only
• 29:55
  the
• 29:55
  God
• 29:56
  Of.
• 29:56
  But
• 29:57
  the
• 29:57
  king,
• 29:57
  torn
• 29:58
  by
• 29:58
  doubt,
• 29:58
  threw
• 29:59
  him
• 29:59
  into
• 29:59
  the
• 29:59
  dungeon.
• 30:01
  Time
• 30:01
  passed.
• 30:03
  Then
• 30:04
  tragedy
• 30:05
  struck.
• 30:06
  The
• 30:06
  king's
• 30:07
  favorite
• 30:07
  horse,
• 30:07
  Aspandiar,
• 30:09
  a
• 30:09
  gleaming
• 30:09
  black
• 30:10
  stallion,
• 30:10
  collapsed,
• 30:12
  all
• 30:12
  four
• 30:12
  legs
• 30:13
  tucked
• 30:13
  under
• 30:13
  him.
• 30:14
  He
• 30:15
  was
• 30:15
  in
• 30:15
  terrible
• 30:16
  pain.
• 30:17
  No
• 30:17
  healer
• 30:18
  can
• 30:18
  help
• 30:18
  him.
• 30:18
  He
• 30:19
  stopped
• 30:19
  eating.
• 30:20
  He
• 30:20
  couldn't
• 30:21
  sleep.
• 30:22
  And
• 30:22
  one
• 30:23
  night,
• 30:23
  a
• 30:24
  guard
• 30:24
  whispered.
• 30:25
  Your
• 30:25
  Majesty,
• 30:26
  the
• 30:26
  prisoner
• 30:26
  Zoroaster
• 30:27
  says
• 30:27
  he.
• 30:28
  Can
• 30:28
  heal
• 30:28
  the
• 30:28
  horse.
• 30:29
  Bring
• 30:29
  him
• 30:29
  at
• 30:29
  once.
• 30:30
  Zoroaster
• 30:30
  stood
• 30:31
  before
• 30:31
  the
• 30:31
  king
• 30:31
  and
• 30:32
  the
• 30:32
  suffering
• 30:32
  horse.
• 30:33
  I
• 30:33
  can
• 30:33
  help.
• 30:34
  But
• 30:34
  there
• 30:34
  are
• 30:34
  four
• 30:34
  conditions.
• 30:35
  What
• 30:35
  are
• 30:36
  they?
• 30:36
  One.
• 30:36
  You
• 30:37
  must
• 30:37
  believe
• 30:37
  in
• 30:37
  Ahura
• 30:38
  Mazda,
• 30:38
  the
• 30:39
  one
• 30:39
  true
• 30:39
  God,
• 30:39
  and
• 30:40
  accept
• 30:40
  me
• 30:40
  as
• 30:41
  his
• 30:41
  messenger.
• 30:41
  The
• 30:42
  king,
• 30:42
  desperate,
• 30:43
  agreed.
• 30:43
  Poof.
• 30:44
  The
• 30:45
  first
• 30:45
  leg
• 30:45
  stretched
• 30:46
  out.
• 30:46
  Two.
• 30:47
  Your.
• 30:47
  Your
• 30:47
  son,
• 30:47
  the
• 30:48
  prince,
• 30:48
  must
• 30:48
  join
• 30:48
  in
• 30:49
  this
• 30:49
  truth.
• 30:49
  The
• 30:50
  prince
• 30:50
  nodded
• 30:51
  bravely.
• 30:52
  Aspandiar's
• 30:53
  second
• 30:53
  leg
• 30:53
  kicked.
• 30:54
  3.
• 30:54
  Your
• 30:54
  queen
• 30:55
  must
• 30:55
  support
• 30:55
  this
• 30:56
  path
• 30:56
  of
• 30:56
  light.
• 30:57
  The
• 30:57
  queen
• 30:58
  agreed
• 30:58
  with
• 30:58
  warmth.
• 30:59
  The
• 31:00
  horse's
• 31:00
  third
• 31:00
  leg
• 31:01
  started
• 31:01
  to
• 31:01
  move.
• 31:02
  4.
• 31:03
  Those
• 31:03
  who
• 31:04
  framed
• 31:04
  me
• 31:04
  must
• 31:04
  be
• 31:05
  revealed
• 31:05
  and
• 31:05
  banished.
• 31:06
  The
• 31:06
  guilty
• 31:07
  counselors
• 31:07
  turned
• 31:08
  pale
• 31:08
  as
• 31:09
  ghosts.
• 31:10
  It
• 31:10
  was
• 31:10
  us.
• 31:10
  We
• 31:11
  lied.
• 31:11
  The
• 31:11
  king
• 31:12
  roared.
• 31:13
  Guards,
• 31:14
  remove
• 31:14
  them
• 31:14
  from
• 31:15
  this
• 31:15
  kingdom.
• 31:15
  And
• 31:16
  as
• 31:16
  the
• 31:16
  traitors
• 31:16
  were
• 31:17
  dragged
• 31:17
  away,
• 31:18
  Aspandiar
• 31:19
  leapt
• 31:19
  to
• 31:20
  his
• 31:20
  feet.
• 31:21
  He
• 31:21
  trotted
• 31:22
  over,
• 31:22
  nuzzling
• 31:22
  the
• 31:23
  king,
• 31:23
  tail
• 31:24
  swishing
• 31:24
  happily.
• 31:25
  The
• 31:26
  king
• 31:26
  was
• 31:26
  overwhelmed.
• 31:27
  I
• 31:27
  believe.
• 31:28
  I
• 31:28
  believe
• 31:28
  it
• 31:28
  all.
• 31:29
  Forgive
• 31:29
  me,
• 31:29
  wise
• 31:29
  Zoroaster.
• 31:30
  From
• 31:31
  that
• 31:31
  day
• 31:31
  on,
• 31:31
  the
• 31:31
  kingdom
• 31:32
  embraced
• 31:33
  the
• 31:33
  teachings
• 31:33
  of
• 31:34
  truth,
• 31:34
  light
• 31:35
  and
• 31:35
  good
• 31:35
  thoughts,
• 31:36
  good
• 31:36
  words,
• 31:36
  good
• 31:37
  deeds.
• 31:38
  Zoroaster
• 31:39
  became
• 31:39
  the
• 31:39
  king's
• 31:39
  trusted
• 31:40
  advisor.
• 31:41
  His
• 31:41
  message
• 31:42
  spread
• 31:42
  across
• 31:43
  Persia,
• 31:43
  lighting
• 31:44
  fires
• 31:44
  of
• 31:44
  wisdom
• 31:45
  in
• 31:45
  homes
• 31:45
  and
• 31:45
  hearts.
• 31:47
  And
• 31:47
  that,
• 31:47
  explorers,
• 31:48
  is
• 31:48
  the
• 31:48
  story
• 31:48
  of
• 31:48
  how
• 31:49
  truth
• 31:49
  galloped
• 31:50
  its
• 31:50
  way
• 31:50
  into
• 31:51
  a
• 31:51
  king's
• 31:51
  heart
• 31:51
  and
• 31:52
  helped
• 31:52
  the
• 31:52
  light
• 31:52
  of
• 31:52
  Zoroastrianism
• 31:54
  shine
• 31:54
  bright.
• 31:57
  Those
• 31:57
  sneaky
• 31:58
  counselors
• 31:59
  got
• 31:59
  what
• 31:59
  they
• 31:59
  deserved.
• 32:00
  I
• 32:01
  loved
• 32:01
  that
• 32:01
  each
• 32:01
  promise
• 32:02
  healed
• 32:02
  one
• 32:02
  leg.
• 32:03
  It
• 32:03
  was
• 32:03
  like
• 32:03
  a
• 32:03
  video
• 32:04
  game
• 32:04
  power
• 32:04
  up
• 32:05
  or
• 32:05
  something.
• 32:06
  This
• 32:06
  story,
• 32:06
  the
• 32:07
  king's
• 32:07
  favorite
• 32:07
  horse,
• 32:08
  is
• 32:08
  a
• 32:08
  beloved
• 32:08
  tale
• 32:09
  among
• 32:09
  Zoroastrians,
• 32:10
  demonstrating
• 32:11
  that
• 32:11
  goodness
• 32:12
  and
• 32:12
  truth
• 32:12
  will
• 32:12
  stand
• 32:13
  up
• 32:13
  in
• 32:13
  the
• 32:13
  end.
• 32:13
  Just
• 32:14
  like
• 32:14
  that
• 32:14
  horse.
• 32:15
  It
• 32:15
  teaches
• 32:16
  that
• 32:16
  if
• 32:16
  you
• 32:16
  stay
• 32:17
  honest
• 32:17
  and
• 32:17
  keep
• 32:18
  your
• 32:18
  faith,
• 32:19
  even
• 32:19
  when
• 32:20
  people
• 32:20
  lie
• 32:20
  about
• 32:20
  you,
• 32:21
  eventually
• 32:22
  the
• 32:22
  truth
• 32:22
  comes
• 32:23
  out
• 32:23
  and
• 32:23
  goodness
• 32:24
  wins.
• 32:25
  The
• 32:25
  king,
• 32:25
  queen
• 32:26
  and
• 32:26
  prince
• 32:26
  choosing
• 32:27
  Zoroaster's
• 32:28
  faith
• 32:28
  remind
• 32:29
  us
• 32:29
  that
• 32:29
  doing
• 32:29
  the
• 32:30
  right
• 32:30
  thing
• 32:31
  often
• 32:32
  requires
• 32:32
  courage
• 32:33
  and
• 32:33
  change.
• 32:34
  But
• 32:34
  it
• 32:34
  can
• 32:35
  heal
• 32:35
  what's
• 32:35
  broken.
• 32:40
  Now
• 32:41
  that
• 32:41
  your
• 32:41
  imagination
• 32:42
  has
• 32:42
  galloped
• 32:42
  with
• 32:43
  that
• 32:43
  horse
• 32:43
  and
• 32:43
  your
• 32:44
  heart
• 32:44
  has
• 32:44
  traveled
• 32:45
  through
• 32:45
  fire
• 32:45
  and
• 32:45
  light,
• 32:46
  get
• 32:47
  ready,
• 32:47
  because
• 32:48

  we're

  heading

  to
• 32:49
  a
• 32:49
  golden
• 32:50
  city
• 32:50
  filled
• 32:50
  with
• 32:51
  sunlight
• 32:51
  and
• 32:51
  ideas.
• 32:53
  It's
• 32:53
  over
• 32:53
  a
• 32:53
  thousand
• 32:54
  years
• 32:54
  ago,
• 32:54
  in
• 32:55
  the
• 32:55
  city
• 32:55
  of
• 32:55
  Fez,
• 32:56
  where
• 32:57
  one
• 32:57
  young
• 32:57
  woman
• 32:58
  had
• 32:58
  a
• 32:58
  dream
• 32:59
  that
• 32:59
  reached
• 33:00
  farther
• 33:00
  than
• 33:01
  anyone
• 33:01
  around
• 33:02
  her
• 33:02
  could
• 33:02
  imagine.
• 33:04
  Her
• 33:04
  name?
• 33:04
  Fatima
• 33:05
  Alfieri.
• 33:07
  Her
• 33:07
  dream?
• 33:08
  To

  build
• 33:08
  a
• 33:08
  place
• 33:09
  of
• 33:09
  learning
• 33:10
  and
• 33:11
  not
• 33:11
  just
• 33:11
  any
• 33:11
  school.
• 33:12
  She
• 33:12
  founded
• 33:13
  the
• 33:13
  world's
• 33:13
  oldest
• 33:14
  university
• 33:14
  still
• 33:15
  in
• 33:15
  operation
• 33:15
  today.
• 33:16
  In

  our

  Fatima

  the

  Woman
• 33:19
  who
• 33:19
  Built
• 33:19
  a
• 33:20
  University.
• 33:21
  We'll
• 33:21
  explore
• 33:22
  how
• 33:22
  her
• 33:22
  faith,
• 33:23
  courage,
• 33:23
  and
• 33:23
  deep
• 33:24
  love
• 33:24
  of
• 33:24
  learning
• 33:25
  helped
• 33:25
  her
• 33:25
  create
• 33:26
  something
• 33:26
  truly
• 33:26
  lasting.
• 33:28
  What
• 33:28
  inspired
• 33:29
  her?
• 33:30
  How
• 33:30
  did
• 33:30
  she
• 33:30
  overcome
• 33:31
  challenges
• 33:31
  in
• 33:31
  a
• 33:32
  time
• 33:32
  when
• 33:32
  women
• 33:32
  weren't
• 33:33
  always
• 33:33
  encouraged
• 33:34
  to
• 33:34
  lead?
• 33:35
  And
• 33:35
  what
• 33:35
  can
• 33:36
  we
• 33:36
  learn
• 33:36
  from
• 33:36
  her
• 33:37
  about
• 33:37
  the
• 33:37
  power
• 33:37
  of
• 33:38
  knowledge,
• 33:38
  service
• 33:39
  and
• 33:40
  belief?
• 33:41
  I
• 33:41
  can't
• 33:42
  wait
• 33:42
  to
• 33:42
  share

  me.
• 33:51
  Today
• 33:52
  we
• 33:52
  traveled
• 33:52
  across
• 33:52
  time,
• 33:53
  met
• 33:53
  a

  and

  warmer,
• 34:02
  a
• 34:02
  little
• 34:02
  brighter.
• 34:03
  Like
• 34:03
  there's
• 34:04
  a

  flame
• 34:05
  glowing

  gently

  inside

  you.
• 34:07
  Because
• 34:08
  guess
• 34:08
  what?
• 34:09
  You
• 34:09
  carry
• 34:10
  a
• 34:10
  spark
• 34:10
  of
• 34:10
  that
• 34:10
  light
• 34:11
  within
• 34:11
  you.
• 34:12
  And
• 34:12
  every
• 34:13
  kind
• 34:13
  thought,
• 34:14
  every
• 34:14
  honest
• 34:15
  word,
• 34:15
  and
• 34:15
  every
• 34:16
  good
• 34:16
  deed
• 34:16
  you
• 34:16
  share
• 34:17
  is
• 34:17
  like
• 34:17
  a
• 34:17
  lantern
• 34:18
  lighting
• 34:18
  up
• 34:19
  the
• 34:19
  world
• 34:19
  one
• 34:19
  flicker

  actions
• 34:26
  be
• 34:26
  a

  that
• 34:28
  even
• 34:28
  the
• 34:28
  smallest
• 34:29
  spark
• 34:29
  can
• 34:30
  make
• 34:30
  the
• 34:30
  darkness
• 34:31
  a
• 34:31
  little
• 34:32
  less

  dark.

  Until
