From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A ganzibra waiting for two tarmidia and shgandia to join him to start performing zidqa brikha, the final ritual for the masiqta, during the 2015 Parwanaya festival in Ahvaz, Iran.

In Mandaeism, the zidqa brika (or zidqa brikha; Classical Mandaic: ࡆࡉࡃࡒࡀ ࡁࡓࡉࡊࡀ, lit.'blessed oblation') is a type of ritual meal blessed by Mandaean priests.[1][2] Zidqa means oblation and can also mean alms, while brika means blessed.[3]

The zidqa brika is offered and eaten at the end of tarmida (junior priest) initiation ceremonies, after the novice's 60-day seclusion period.[1] It is also offered at weddings[4] and during the Parwanaya festival.[5]

It is distinct from the lofani and dukrana, which are two other types of ritual meal offered for the dead.[3]

Prayers

In E. S. Drower's version of the Qolasta, prayers 348-374 are for the zidqa brika. Prayers 375-381 are blessings recited after the zidqa brika.[6]
