An Iranian Zoroastrian priest sets fire to a prepared pile of wood, where Zoroastrians gather in a ceremony to mark Sadeh, an ancient feast celebrating the creation of fire, outside the capital of Tehran, Iran, Saturday, Jan. 30, 2010. Thousands of Iranians gathered at dusk against a snowy mountain backdrop to light giant bonfires in an ancient mid-winter festival dating back to Iran's pre-Islamic past that is drawing new interest from Muslims.
