| | USNews.com: The Sabaean Mandeans of Iraq continue their baptisms, keeping an ancient religion alive (6/9/03) |
| | In Iraq, Mandeans have adopted many Muslim cultural practices to better blend in, even adopting Arabic names instead of using their religiously rooted names in the ancient Mandean language. | | | In fact, Mandeans are neither Christian nor Muslim nor Jewish, but their faith bears some similarities to each. | | | (The name Sabaean Mandean means one who is baptized and has knowledge of God.) Religious leaders must wash themselves three times in water to purify the body and soul before performing any religious rites. |
