Summary
| Description |
English: The shkhenta hut will be covered with white cloths and represents the sacred place in Alma Ed Nura (The World of Light) and also represents the womb of the mother universe as the candidate for priesthood (shwalia) will be spiritually reborn. The candidate will stay in this hut with his Rebi and other priests and shkandi(deacons) for seven days, studying and praying.
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. |
