Description
Iraqi Yazidis celebrate their New Year at Lalish temple, the Yazidis' holiest shrine, burning wick and participating in traditional rituals. "This holiday means a lot in the Yazidi religion. Firstly it symbolises peace and it marks the start of the new year. According to the Yazidi religion, the earth was formed this month on Wednesday, so we celebrate it," explains Joan Mardan.
