The Oldest Religion on Earth Enters Its New Year With the Most Comprehensive Digital Platform It Has Ever Had eFireTemple.com — March 20, 2026 Tomorrow the sun crosses the equator. Day and night stand equal. And for the 3,763rd time in recorded Zoroastrian tradition, the world begins again. Nowruz Mubarak. This is the oldest New Year celebration in continuous observance on earth. When the first Nowruz was marked, Rome did not exist. Greece had not yet produced a philosopher. The Hebrew Bible had not been written. The Buddha had not been born. Muhammad would not arrive for another two millennia. The entire Western calendar — the one that says it is 2026 — had not been conceived. Zoroastrians have been counting years since before anyone else started. Year 3763 begins tomorrow. And this year, something is different.
