This programme eavesdrops on the Persian New Year ceremony of the Zoroastrian religion, which takes place on the 21st March. 

It uncovers the secrets of one of the world's most ancient religions, which predates both Christianity and Judaism.  Recording in the inner 'Fire Temple' has never before been permitted to non-Zoroastrians.
