Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Ganzibra Najah, Tarmida Peyam, Tarmida Behram and Ms Amal Sabti perform Hawad Maniya (a ritual performed for those who died without being ritually pure, to assist the soul in her way to the world of light). Ms Sabti cannot speak during the ritual - she is taking the place of a deceased woman, using her religious name (melwasha) – and she cannot touch any object which has not been purified. The priests performed this ritual for about 90 souls on days 2-4 of Parwanaya. These souls had passed away in many parts of the world; the parents of one young man killed in an accident in the Netherlands came to Iran especially for this ritual, which is a symbol of love and religious duty towards the beloved deceased.
