Maidyoshahem: Zoroastran holy day. ‘Mid-summer’ feast, one of the seven obligatory feasts of
Zoroastrianism and one of the six gahanbars (or gahambars). The gahanbars date back to the

with feasting and fun.

Shahanshahi (or Shenshai) calendar, Maidyoshahem is celebrated from November 28 to December 2
during the years 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008. In the Qadimi (ancient) calendar, Maidyoshahem is
celebrated from October 29 to November 2 during the years 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008.
