Adherents of the pre-Christian Sabaean faith, which considers the prophet Abraham as one of its founders, perform a ritual in the waters of the Tigris River in Iraq's capital Baghdad, on March 15, 2022. Eid al-Khalqeh is a five-day religious holiday celebrated by the Sabaeans, also known in English as Mandaeans, and is a monotheistic religion historically practised around the lower Euphrates and Tigris. The Sabaeans speak a distinct language, Mandaean, and their religious books are written in Sabaean script. (Photo by Ahmad Al-Rubaye/AFP Photo)
