IRAQ. Lalesh, Dohuk. 2019. Heriya Kret, from the “Pir” or priest sect of Yazidi religion, has baptized dozens of women and children who have returned from ISIS captivity or forced fighting, at the holy Yezidi site of Lalesh in the hills outside Dohuk. Yezidis are required at least once in their life to be baptized here -- but in 2014, the Yazidi religious leadership created this “re-baptism” process to welcome those back who’d been forced to convert to Islam by ISIS, and/or were physically defiled by the fighters. Kret demonstrates how she draws holy water from the “zim zim” or baptismal pool, rarely seen by those outside the Yazidi faith. (She also demonstrates without our prompting, how she re-baptizes the young boys who were forced to be child soldiers, on one of the children who lives at the holy compound.)
