The Martyrs of Mount Ber'ain

Más información sobre el libro

Exploring Christian identity within the Sasanian Empire, the narrative follows three siblings—Adarparwa, Mihrnarse, and Mahdukht—who confront their upbringing under the Magi. As they engage in conflict with Zoroastrian forces, the story highlights shared cultural elements, particularly through Mihrnarse's vision. The account emphasizes the enduring rivalry between Christians and Zoroastrians, preserved in writing even after the Arab conquest. Sultana Mahdukht, one of the martyrs, continues to be honored in both Iraq and the United States.
