We have total of 49 students registered in 5 different levels from pre-school to adult conversation. We hope to have total of 12 levels. Each level is a 16 week term meeting Sundays from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. We are planning to do some fundraising to purchase education materials for in class and home use of our students. Persia House of Michigan Board was able to help with the cost of building rental and books for this term, so we can keep the fee to $100 per term per student regardless of the number students per family and level. Hopefully our fundraising will bring enough money so we can continue to offer the classes at $100 per term. Watch for our fundraiser information in the next issue of the newsletter. | would like to thank those parents who are volunteering to help out with break time supervision of playground and keep the tea flowing!

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2002 - Winter Description An account of the resource The word ‘Mehr’ in the Avesta, the religious text of the Zoroasrians, and in the cuneiform inscriptions of the Achaemenians stands for ‘contract’, ‘treaty’, ‘kindness’, and ‘sun’. The seventh month of the solar year and the sixteenth day of each month were also called ‘Mehr’. The sixteenth day of each month was ascribed to the angel of light and it is known as the Mehrruz, Mithra Day or Sun-day. This day was the beginning of a glorified festival that was called Mithrakana in ancient times. Mithrakana means “belonging to Mithra” and the word Mehregan is derived from that. This celebration was the second of the two major celebrations of the ancient world in which the calendar was divided into two seasons. Mehregan was celebrated at the beginning of winter and Noruz, at the beginning of summer. For both these celebrations people would wear new clothes, drink certain wine, and dance. According to the Bundahishn, the Zoroastrian book of creation, it was on Mehregan that Mashia and Mashianih or first man and first woman emanated from Kayuomars, the first legendary being on earth. During the period of the Alexandrian invasion, Mithra, under the names Mithradates or Mehrdad, was invoked when oaths were sworn. In fact, worshipping Mithra had such a great impact that it influenced Alexander’s army and later widely penetrated the Roman Empire as a religious movement with its own ceremony, festival, and celebration. Remains of Mithraic temples can be found in different spots of Europe and Asia. There are quotations from many scholarly sources in Persian and Arabic about Mehregan. For example, in Biruni’s celebrated work Asar al-Baqiyyah fi Qurun al-Khaliyyah (The Traces of the Past Centuries), we read that it was in ‘Mehr-ruz’ that the uprising of the renowned blacksmith Kaveh brought the legendary ruler Fereydoon to power and overcame evil forces of Zahhak. In memory of that victory, they used to assign a champion as a “town crier” to shout “0 angels, come to this world and save it from the harm of the evil forces!”. It is said that on this day the lord of the universe spread the earth, gave souls to bodies, and at the same time, the moon received light from the sun. According to legend, since Zahhak’s rule lasted for a thousand years, and it is noticed that it may be possible to live that long, people wish each other thousand-year-old lives. The Mehregan celebration was so greatly respected that even after the advent of Islam it was accepted and celebrated by most of the people in the Arab world under its Arabic name Mehrjan.

Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 2002 - Winter Description An account of the resource واژه مهر در اوستا ، كتاب مقد س زردشتيان، وبنا بر گواهی سنگ نبشته های هخامنشی بهمعانی "پیمان" و "خورشید" آمده است. هفتمينماه سال شمسی و شانزدهمین روز از هر ماهوابسته به ایزد نور بود و به نامهای مهرروز،روز میترا، و روز خورشید نامیده میشد. اینروز شروع جشنهای با شکوهی بود که آن رادر زمانهای دور"میترا كانا" نامگذاری کردهبودند. میترا كانا به معنی "متعلق به میترا" استو واژه مهرگان از آن گرفته شده است. اهمیتاین جشن تا جایی بود که آن را همپایه نوروزمی دانستند. در تاریخ گذشته سال به دو فصلتقسیم شده بود؛ مهرگان جشن آغاز زمستان ونوروز جشن آغاز فصل تابستان به شمار میرفت. در این جشن ها مردم لباس نو می پوشند،شراب می نوشند و رقص و پایکوبی می کنند.ایرانیان باستان، به روایت بندهشن بر این باوربوده اند که خداوند در این روز مقدس در کالبدمشی و مشيانه روح دمیده و به جانوران جانبخشیده است این دو نخستین مرد و زن دراساطیر ایران اند که از تخمه باز مانده کیومرثدر زمین به گونه دو شاخه ریواس می رویند وسپس به پیکر آدمی در می آیند و همه آد میاندر جهان از تبار ایشانند. در دوران حملهاسکندر به ایران، میترا در لوای نام های میترادانس با مهرداد در مراسم سوگند بکار گرفته میشد در واقع پرستش میترا تا اندازه زیادی افرادسپاه اسکندر را به خود جلب کرد و بد ینوسیله در امپراتوری روم بعنوان یک جنبشمذهبی رخنه کرد و مراسم آن با رسوم آیینایشان مخلوط گردید. آثار باقیمانده معابد میتراییدر نقاط مختلف اروپا و آسیای مرکزی دیده میشوند . نقل قول های فراوانی از مهرگان را میتوان در آثار بزرگان و دانشمندان ایرانی وعرب مشاهده کرد برای نمونه در اثر ارزندهابوریحان بیرونی "آثارالباقيه في قرون الخاليه"می خوانیم: "اندر این روز آفریدون ظفر یافتبر بیوراسب جاد و آنک معروف است بهضحاک و به کوه دماوند باز داشت. خداوند دراین روز زمین را بگسترد و کالبد ها را برای آنکه جای ارواح باشد بیافرید گویند:" در این روزبود که خداوند ماه را که کره ای سیاه و بیفروغ بود، فروغ بخشید" بر اساس افسانه، ازآنجا که حکومت ضحاک چهار هزار سال بهطول انجامید، و با این تصور که زند گانی بدیندرازی امکان پذیر است، مردم برای همآرزوی عمرهای هزار ساله می کنند. جشنمهرگان از چنان اعتباری برخوردار بود کهحتی پس از آمدن اسلام باز هم مقبول بود و حتیدر دنیای عرب هم تحت نام " مهرجان " جشنگرفته می شدامسال 8 اکتبر مصادف با روز مهرگان بود.
