Designating "National Zoroastrian Day" on the day of the vernal equinox of each year.
Summary
House Resolution 1088 proposes to officially designate the day of the vernal equinox—the first day of spring—as "National Zoroastrian Day." This resolution seeks to recognize the historical and cultural contributions of the Zoroastrian community, one of the world's oldest monotheistic religious groups, particularly their celebration of Nowruz (the Persian New Year). While the resolution does not create a federal holiday or mandate business closures, it serves as a formal gesture of national appreciation for the heritage and values of Zoroastrian Americans.
