IRAQ-RELIOGION-SABEANS
A Mandean woman, known in Arabic as Sabean takes part in rituals marking the 'great feast' or the Mandaean new year, according to the Sabean calender in Baghdad, on July 19, 2010, as Iraq's 100,000-strong sect practice their Gnostic religion along the banks of the Tigris River. The Sabeans were driven out of Jordan and settled in southern and central Iraq around AD 67. They speak a distinct language, Mandean, and their religious books are written in Sabaen script.
