Khordad

/khor-DAAD/

خرداد

From Haurvatāt — "Wholeness" or "Perfection" in Avestan

We are in Khordad now — 14 Khordad 1405

Khordad comes from Haurvatāt, the Zoroastrian embodiment of wholeness, health, and the perfection of water. It is the last month of spring — when the year feels complete in its first season, when rivers run full from mountain snow, and when the Persian garden reaches its most magnificent expression.
