We accept and delight in all religions in Cornwall; where incidentally local "Pagans" still openly practice at the old stone circles and at other sacred sites, the only problem it seems with the "Persian" celebrations was the dawn call to prayer waking a few of the locals up!

First of all that film 300 was utter rubbish in portraying Iranians as Black-headed barbarians. The Greeks got away with entrapment, and the history is so biased it is unbelievable. Fact is that the Persians did brun Athens, and once the Greeks were part of the Persian Empire, they learnt how to build columns and understand all about hydrology and mathematics, where the Persian, who were using the zero, were way way ahead. But enough of that. There is one thing that is very interesting in Cornwall, which does link to a common religion that existed way way before Christianity, and that is the Spring Festival. I know that Cornwall is one of the rare places in Britain one can see stone circles and the folks in Cornwall do have a Fire dance in the Spring. Those are linked to the ancient rituals that link all Indo-European races. We in Iran called it Zoroastrianism. Christians give it the horrible name Pagan. So Happy Nowrooz or Spring and please do not misrepresent us. Mods and Admin Some call it Ostara or Eostre Blimey that’s a bit strong.
