Lalish Yezidi Temple


This is the Yezidi Temple in Lalish. It is the most holy place for Yezidi's all over the world. They have a tradition that when you go in the temple you do not where your shoes or step on the threshold. We had to take our shoes off and walk on the cold, cold, cold, cold stone. Did I mention the stone was cold. It is a neat place inside, but they worship Satan and have a lot of things in their religion that resemble Islam, Chrnty, and Judeaism. Their most holy "priest" guy does not cut his hair, beard, or take a shower from birth until death. We did not get to see him, but we could smell something like him. When we got there, the people were cleaning the area, and they were not wearing shoes. It was cold.
