Angels-RASHNU

According to the ancient Persian religion of Zoroastrianism, Rashnu
is the angel who stands at the bridge to heaven and passes judgment
on the worthiness of newly dead souls who wish to enter. Rashnu ponders
for three days on how the person has spent his life on earth and
uses golden scales to measure the merit of his soul. Those who are
found to be worthy are helped across the bridge. Those who are not
deemed virtuous, receive no help and find that the bridge becomes as
narrow as a razor’s edge. As they attempt to cross, they fall off the
bridge to be tortured by devils.
