Here are some more portraits of participants at Avestacon 1997. Most of them are Zoroastrian priests, both from Iran and India. On formal and ceremonial occasions they dress all in white, the symbol of purity. There are both young and older men at the priestly meeting. In the Zoroastrian faith, the priesthood is inherited from father to son and is only for males. Not every priestly son wants to join the family obligation so the religion, rather like other ancient religions, needs to cultivate a new generation of priests.
