A family prays at the Zoroastrian temple in Chakchak, the site of an annual pilgrimage Saturday, June 16, 2001 some 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of Yazd in southern Iran. Zoroastrianism is an ancient monotheistic religion based on the teachings of Zarathushtra (Zoroaster), who lived in Iran over 2,500 years ago. Every year for five days, thousands of worshippers come to Chakchak to pray in the temple built in the mountain, were a holy tree has been surviving in the deserted site for thousands of years.
