The Cypress of Kashmar was a cypress tree regarded as sacred to followers of Zoroastrianism. According to the Iranian epic Shahnameh, the tree had grown from a branch Zoroaster had carried away from Paradise and which he planted in honor of King Vishtaspa's conversion to Zoroastrianism in Kashmarbalkh. On 10 December 861 AD, Abbasid Caliph al-Mutawakkil ordered the tree be felled and transported to his capital in Samarra where its wood would be used as beams for his new palace. But one day before the cypress trees arrived, the caliph was killed by Turkish slaves. The palace and its spiral minaret still stand today.

- Cypressen i Kashmar är en äkta cypress som växte i distriktet Kashmar i provinsen Khorasan i nordöstra Iran. Trädet ansågs heligt av zoroastrier och enligt traditionen skall det ha planterats av profeten Zarathustra själv. I zoroastrismens heliga bok Avesta och eposet Shahnameh berättas att Zarathustra planterade cypressen för att ära sin skyddspatron Vishtaspa. Trädet var enligt författaren Ferdousi redan en pilgrimsort under Zarathustras levnad. (sv)

Trädet var enligt författaren Ferdousi redan en pilgrimsort under Zarathustras levnad. Cypressen i Kashmar höggs ned på order av den abbasidiske kalifen Al-Mutawakkil år 861 eftersom han ansåg att trädet var en källa till avgudadyrkan och stred mot islam. Han lät hugga ned trädet och frakta det till Samarra i nuvarande Irak. Han själv fick dock aldrig möjlighet att beskåda trädet eftersom han mördades av en tjänare bara någon dag innan leveransen kommit fram. (sv)
