Significance of The Fire Temple

The temple in the story is one that Yezad passes on his way home from work. It is of the Zoroastrian religion that Yezad was brought up in. During a period of stress at work, he stops at the temple on his way home. At first, he just peeks in, but after a couple of such visits, he enters all the way and begins to recall prayers and things from his childhood training. Over time he becomes extremely devout.
