InYazidism, theSilat Bridge is a bridge inLalish, Iraq that leads to the most holyYazidi shrine. It symbolizes the connection and crossing over from the profane earthly world and the sacred, esoteric world. As with theChinvat Bridge inZoroastrianism, the Silat Bridge in will also play a role at the end of times in Yazidism (Kreyenbroek 2005: 39).[1][2]
Every year, thousands of Yazidi pilgrims arrive at the bridge for theFeast of the Assembly as they cross the bridge to the sacred site ofSheikh Adi's tomb.
