Summary edit
| Description |
English: The Shwalia performs Rishama (ablution) in order to start the lengthy prayer Baii Rahmi (Great Prayer) with the Drabsha assembled. During the seven days of initiation, the candidate cannot look upon the river, as this can bring bad luck. So other priests assist him by bringing water from the river. Tarmida Raad Al Zuhairi (Arwah Nehweli – may he rest in peace) assists another Shwalia, Alaa Azeez, by pouring water for the ablution.
Photograph from the initiation of Anmar al-Zuhairi, Baghdad, 2008. This process is long and complex, comprising many rituals, some of which are performed differently from other occasions. |
