Yazidi Pilgrimage to Lalish (3)

 Inside the holy Yazidi shrine at Lalish. A much freer atmosphere than in Moslem mosques.





Our local guide, Haana




Elsa with a television personality who was reporting on the pilgrmage



A Yazidi man with a snake. From Google: "The snake is particularly symbolic for Yazidis who believe that after Noah's Ark sprang a leak when it came to rest on the peak of Mount Ararat, a serpent plugged the hole with its body and saved the ship from sinking and all those on board from drowning."
