Persian Candy Shop in Esfahan.

they converted the imam mosque into a candy shop?


bro, this is just the architecture in iran 😭 the mosque looks nothing like this


not trying to call you out, i just had questions. The culture is very anti-icon so the images in the back made me question whether it might have been an orthodox church, as the islamists borrow quite a bit from the pre existing christianity, and that church be converted to a candy shop. that would have made sense. however, then i did a google search and found this pop up within the area pictures of the imam mosque which I thought was even weirder. im sure you have more context than me, ive never been nor know anyone who has. just curious.


did you know that iran practiced zoroastrianism before islam was perceived as the main religion by westerners? i wasn’t trying to sound mean at all lol. i apologize.


also zoroastrianism predates christianity and catholicism and is the first monotheistic religion. so the architecture  is not orthodox since it predates it by many years.


Great post 👍

Great post 👍


you learn something everyday. I remember reading/listening somewhere that the magi who came from the east were zoroastrians. ill try to find that video by patristix


And the Chefs aren't fatties!! Awesome.

candy in iran are not made with additives and excessive sugars, they’re made with natural ingredients and aren’t as harmful. delicious and usually ate with tea

my grandpa was also the owner of a candy factory in iran pre revolution

That is a candy shop?

From what I learned, I wouldn't consider Zoroastrianism a monotheistic religion. But there are also those who don't consider Christianity monotheistic, either. So... 🤷♂


So you have no idea about orthodox churches too 😂


De toute manière toutes les religions qui y cohabitent...


Tout ce bassin a vu les 3 religions monetheistes cohabiter ...l'empire ottoman    etc 'si vous visitez l'Égypte vous verrez toutes les traces des conquêtes Sand oublier l'Asie.. En Europe jusqu'à Poitiers on voit encore les traces de conquêtes religieuses ...avec tant de drames entre les empires européens ...temps de me déconnecter.. décalage obligeant


Beautiful!


Si...surtout l'Europe qui ont dû causer tant de maux chez les cousins d'empires  d'Europe y compris en Turquie. .J'admire  Henri IV en cela pour avoir tenter la pacification..dans des contextes de guerres religieuses incommensurables ....Dans notre histoire les religions ont engendré tant de maux inavouables..


it’s literally the first monotheistic religion and we only have one God.


Am I misunderstanding that Angra Mainyu is coequal with Ahura Mazda?


sure, I'm just ignorant all around i suppose.


We have many to explore. Good that here in nostr we are exposed to many different things.


Ah. This is clarifying:

"There are two main reasons why Zoroastrianism is not and should not be considered a dualistic religion. The first is that Zoroastrians do not consider themselves to be dualistic. In their minds, they worship one god, namely Ahura Mazda. Second, the definition of dualism lends credence to the monotheism of the Zoroastrian faith. A basic definition of dualism is “a doctrine that the universe is under the dominion of two opposing principles one of which is good and the other evil.” But Zoroastrians believe in the supremacy of Ahura Mazda."


yes exactly! thank you for willing to learn


this is objectively beautiful 😍


beautiful 😍

Well, what's the point, if not to learn? Zoroastrianism is rather fascinating. I can respect its principles and practicioners. 😁
