Hamra (Mandaeism)
In Mandaeism, hamra () is sacramental water mixed with raisins that have been macerated (i.e., softened via soaking). Although it is often translated as "wine" (its Semitic etymological source) or " grape juice," hamra used in Mandaean rituals is non-alcoholic, and it is also not freshly pressed grape juice. It is used during wedding and masiqta rituals. The hamra can be served in a ''kapta'', a shallow brass drinking bowl that is 11 inches or less in perimeter, or in a ''qanina'' (small glass bottle).Drower, Ethel Stefana. 1937.

The main Silurian succession of limestones and shales comprises thirteen units spanning of stratigraphic thickness, being thickest in the south, and overlies a thick Ordovician sequence. Precambrian shield rocks that underlie these sediments are found 400 to 500 meters sea level. Sedimentary rocks cropping out in Gotland were deposited in a shallow, hot and salty sea, on the edge of an equatorial continent. The water depth never exceeded , and shallowed over time as bioherm detritus, and terrestrial sediments, filled the basin. Reef growth started in the Llandovery, when the sea was deep, and reefs continued to dominate the sedimentary record.
