The burzinqa (Classical Mandaic: ࡁࡅࡓࡆࡉࡍࡒࡀ) is a turban worn by Mandaean men during baptismal ceremonial rituals. It forms the upper end of a lengthy piece of cotton cloth. For priests who are performing rituals, the loose lower end, called the rugza (Classical Mandaic: ࡓࡅࡂࡆࡀ), can be used as a pandama or mouth-veil.[1]
Description
[edit | edit source]The burzinqa consists of a long piece of cotton cloth that is wrapped three times around the head. The loose end is called the rugza (Classical Mandaic: ࡓࡅࡂࡆࡀ). It is made from a cloth that is 10 centimeters by 3 meters long, and can be cut lengthwise as needed.[2]
In the Qulasta
[edit | edit source]Several prayers in the Qulasta are recited when putting on the burzinqa, including prayers 1, 3, and 5.[3]
