TEHRAN, Jul. 26 (MNA) – Iranian people living in Yazd City gathered in a mourning ceremony for Imam Hussein (AS) to mark the month of Muharram.
Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar. The tenth day of Muharram is known as Ashura. Among Shia Muslims, Ashura is observed through large demonstrations of high-scale mourning as it marks the death of Hussein ibn Ali, the third Imam of Shia, who was martyred during the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE.
