In early Zoroastrianism, Mithra was the Lord of Fire and Lord of the Sun, although Hvar was the spirit of the sun. In time, Mithraism developed from Zoroastrianism, with Mithras as the sun god. "Righteousness" in the context of moral good was an important part of Zoroastrian belief. Quite a few Zoroastrian concepts entered Judaism during the Babylonian Exile. Second Isaiah wrote of "righteousness" during the Babylonian Exile more frequently than any other Old Testament author had. He used the word in the sense of moral good rather than of belief in God, as used elsewhere in the Old Testament. The actual term "Sun of Righteousness", found in Malachi, is not necessarily derived from Zoroastrianism, and may be a coincidence. However, the alternative explanations are too complex to cover in an online session.
What do the colors of the Norwegian bunad represent?
In most cases it doesn't represent anything -at least nothing spiritual- other than perhaps what colors were available and to which cost. But it is possible that the sami "kofte" -which could be viewed as a bunad- has colors with meaning.
Also, the different colours may tell you from where the bunad is. The most places have their own bunad.
