Paitishahem Gahambar (F)

OZCF will be celebrating Paitishahem Gahambar, as per Fasli Calendar, on Saturday, September 12^th, at 11:00 am at the Z.R.C.C.

Paitishahem Gahambar is the 3^rd Gahambar of the year (Fasli or seasonal calendar) and occurs in late summer / early fall from the 176^th to the 180^th day (Shehrevar Mah & from Roj Ashtad to Aneran, i.e., September 12 – 16 as per the Gregorian calendar). The word comes from the terms paiti and hahya (corn) and means bringing in the harvest. Paitishahem is linked with Earth, the 3^rd creation. In the later Persian texts, the Amesha Spenta “Spenta Armaiti” or Spendarmard (Holy Devotion) became the guardian.

The prayer ceremony will commence at 11:00 am, in the Atashkadeh, followed by lunch in the Hall. The cost of attending the Jashan & dinner is $15/- per person; children up to the age of 5 years are free. Members wishing to attend in-person must give their names to Er. Nozer Kotwal at (905) 820-0461 or at nskotwal1@gmail.com in advance, but not later than Wednesday, September 9^th. Please also volunteer to clean up after the event.
