Yazidism is a monotheistic faith primarily practiced by the Yazidi community, mainly found in northern Iraq. It combines elements from various religions, including Islam, Christianity, and Zoroastrianism. Central to Yazidism is the belief in one God and the importance of the Melek Taus, an angel often depicted as a peacock, who plays a significant role in their spiritual teachings. Yazidis have a unique set of beliefs and rituals, including the observance of specific holy days and the pilgrimage to the Lalish temple, which is considered their holiest site. The community has faced persecution throughout history, particularly in recent years, leading to significant challenges in preserving their culture and faith.
