We came across a mosque setting up for a first hijab ceremony for girls
COMMENT: the Mosque where these very hospitable people left us shoot was in Isfahan, not too far from the Imam Square.
Non-Muslim girls and women are not exempt. These girls in black are not Muslims but Armenian Christian students at an Armenian Christian School.
COMMENT: There are about 8,000 Armenians in Isfahan.

This is Jolfa part of Isfahan.
We visited in May, before the peak summer heat, but it could get a little uncomfortable. This is our filmmaker.
COMMENT: Our filmmaker's website can be found at http://www.aliciacattoni.com/
(This was filmed in Sheikh Lotf Allah Mosque, one of the more architecturally celebrated mosques in the Muslim world http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheikh_Lotf_Allah_Mosque
