Day of Dadvah (third) · Jashn-e Dey

Culture of origin: Zoroastrian · Ancient festival

Holiday sources: Iran · Zoroastrianism

Four days of every month, the 1st, 8th, 15th and 23rd, belong to Dae, the Creator (Ahura Mazda), and so does the tenth month, Dey. In Dey, where day and month meet, they become four name-day feasts called the Jashan of Dadvah, "the Creator". This is the third, the 15th of Dey in the Zoroastrian calendar.
