The holiday of this deity is bright and pure, it carries only joy and positive emotions.
This is the day of immortality, longevity and healing of diseases in Zoroastrianism. During the celebration of Amertat, believers collect water from any natural source, because on this day all natural moisture is considered "live" and has anti-aging and healing properties. It is advisable to meet the holiday at dawn, with the first rays of the sun, then the chance of renewal and healing of the body will increase.
Many believers on the day of Amertat walk in the sand, believing that all illnesses and all negativity will disappear immediately after the rain has completely washed away the traces. In order not to wait for the rain, some burrow in the sand. This holiday is great for creativity. With good positive thoughts, various figures, bells, whistles and flutes can be made from clay and wood.
Mistresses during the holiday Amertat bake figures from the dough, which they then eat, dipping in wine. On this day, the effect of all anti-aging procedures is enhanced, it is especially useful to make cosmetic masks from natural ingredients and use a bath in milk. Believers light nineteen candles that symbolize immortality and infinity. Many at this time plant trees that become symbols of eternity.
Amertat is the archangel of joy, immortality, life, fire and plants. His wards are endowed with a creative gift, but in exchange this bright god does not ask for anything. Amertat is the patron saint of the unborn and children under seven years of age.
But Amertat also has a twin brother, Haurvat, who is the ruler of "dead" water. These two archangels are inseparable from each other. Thanks to Haurvat, a person gains integrity, but only with the help of Amertat does he gain vitality and immortality.
