Summary
| Description |
English:
Ganzibra Najah is waiting for another two tarmidi and shkanda to join him to start performing Zidqa Brikha (‘blessed almsgiving/oblation’), the final ritual for Masiqta. This ritual can be performed only by priests (with the help of shkanda, who is essential for all rituals). The most obvious characteristics of the rituals done in Parwanaii are their great length and very precise detail.
All priests must be baptised on the first day of the Parwanaya festival; Ganzibra Najah, who had recently had an operation, was baptised several times by three priests. Notes from Yuhana Nashmi's fieldwork, including the Parwanaya (Panja) festival and travels in Khuzestan, March 2015.
