Note 179 — Chapter VI · THE TEACHINGS OF THE ZEND-AVESTA.
Reading edition
The first month is called Fravisha, and indicates the particular time of this celebration. Fravisha also means the departed souls of ancestors, and these angels or protectors are numberless. Every being of the good creation, whether living, dead or still unborn, has its own Fravisha or guardian angel, who has existed from the beginning.
