25. Freddie Mercury Came From a Family of Zoroastrians
Parsis were historically Zoroastrians, followers of what is possibly the world’s oldest monotheistic faith. Zoroaster, aka Zarathustra, was the prophet of Zoroastrianism and lived in Iran at an unknown time but centuries before the birth of Christ. The word “star” comes from “Zoroaster;” unsurprisingly, the religion relies heavily on astrology.
