On one holiday, practitioners of this religion participate in a practice similar to trick-or-treating referred to as spoon-banging. The name of this religion’s ten-day Frawardigan festival alludes to the winged fravashi. Seven categories of items whose names begin with the letter “s” are among the haft-seen items in this religion’s vernal equinox celebration. This religion’s practitioners celebrate six festivals called gahambars that are said to reflect both seasonal changes and the (*) Amesha Spenta. The dead are commemorated during this holiday’s intercalary “Gatha” days. Practitioners of this religion jump over fires on Chaharshanbe Suri, the first celebration of this religion’s New Year celebration of Nowruz. For 10 points, name this dualistic Persian religion whose practitioners believe in a conflict between Angra Mainyu and Ahura Mazda. ■END■
