In this arresting photo set for Middle East Images, members of the ancient Sabean Mandean religious sect perform a religious ritual. The Mandaeans are a pre-Christian sect that follows the teachings of John the Baptist. The religion has been practised primarily around the lower Karun, Euphrates and Tigris and the rivers surrounding the Shatt-al-Arab waterway, part of southern Iraq and Khuzestan province in Iran.
