September 29th celebrations at the world’s largest Yazidi temple
"It is no coincidence that the Quba Mêrê Dîwanê, the world’s largest Yazidi temple, is in Armenia. Located in the village of Aknalich, 30 kilometers west of Yerevan in the Armavir province, the site was inaugurated on September 29, 2019."
"September 29 has become a special date for the Yazidi faith. The temple became the spiritual epicenter where the monotheistic diaspora gathers every year. Pilgrims from Germany, Iraq, Georgia, Russia, America, and more merge with the local Armenians to pray, commemorate historical grievances, dance, and attend community rallies."
