Mr. Correa (for himself and Mr. Krishnamoorthi) submitted the following
resolution; which was referred to the Committee on Oversight and
Government Reform

_______________________________________________________________________

RESOLUTION

Expressing support for the designation of ``Zoroastrian Legacy and
Heritage Month''.

Whereas Zoroastrianism is regarded as one of the world's oldest monotheistic
religions, originating in ancient Persia, and includes significant
contributions to history and civilization, that has greatly influenced
the development of global freedom, democracy, trade, and commerce;
Whereas Cyrus the Great, a follower of Zoroastrianism and mentioned in the Old
Bible 23 times, recorded the first declaration of human rights on the
famous Cyrus Cylinder in 539 B.C.E., emphasizing freedom of religion,
equality, cultural and civil rights, and abolishment of slavery;
Whereas the last month of the original Zoroastrian Calendar in March, is devoted
to Mother Earth, signifying equality, devotion to nature, humility,
love, peace, and harmony for all humankind;
Whereas the spring festival of Nowruz, also referred to as ``Novruz'', the day
of the vernal equinox in March, is the most auspicious day in the
Zoroastrian calendar and signifies the triumph of light, warmth, and
life over darkness;
Whereas Zoroastrians are enjoined to preserve and protect the divine creations
of earth, air, water, vegetation, cattle, and humans;
Whereas the first seven days of Spring in March are considered very auspicious
for nature in the Zoroastrian calendar but traditionally celebrated till
the thirteenth day after Nowruz;
Whereas Zoroastrian Legacy has also significantly benefited humankind throughout
History in commerce, international trade, art, and culture; and
Whereas March will be commemorated as Zoroastrian Legacy and Heritage Month:
Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports the
designation of ``Zoroastrian Legacy and Heritage Month''.
