#47 Know Your World: The last Zoroastrians of ๐ฎ๐ทIran
โถ๏ธ As several countries are celebrating Navruz we may ask ourselves where this celebration comes from. The origin of it is actually the ancient religion of Zoroastrianism, the first monotheistic religion (=a religion with only one god). There are only very few Zoroastrians left in the world today. Learn more about their small community in Iran.

๐Special Day: Where Have All The Flowers Gone?
โถ๏ธ As the world remembers then end of World War II today let's sing an anti-war song that has a truly remarkable (=special) history. American singer Pete Seeger combined an old Irish folk song melody with verses (=parts of a poem or song) from a Ukrainian/Russian folk song and turned it into a protest song that now stands for (=represents, is associated with) pacifism (=belief in or activism for peace) in general and the peace movement of the 1960s and 70s against the Vietnam War.
This version is sung by Joan Baez, a contemporary (=modern) American folk singer famous for her social justice activism.
