The Zend Avesta is an ancient sacred book, containing the Yasna, which is the holy scripture of the Zoroastrian faith.
The faith was founded by the prophet Zarathustra, known to the Greeks as Zoroaster, in Persia around 1200 BC.
The teachings of Zoroastrianism have had a major influence on other world religions, and the faith is still practiced today, especially in Iran, India, and North America.
