Summary

Description
English: Ganzibra Najah Choheili reads from a manuscript written in Mandaic called “Sharah ed Parwanaii” (Explanation of Parwanaii). Ganzibra Najah wears his original gold ring, “Shom Yavar Ziwa”, given to him at his initiation as a priest, with his crown “tagha” made from silk and worn under the turban. He also has a new olive stick in order to lead other priests in performing the Masiqta. Ganzibra Najah consults the manuscript about ritual steps in Masiqta. Any error in the ritual would undermine the priests' purity and they would need to have several baptisms to become religiously pure again.

Notes from Yuhana Nashmi's fieldwork, including the Parwanaya (Panja) festival and travels in Khuzestan, March 2015.
