Hozeh Honari hosting Tazieh performance

Hozeh Honari in Tehran has been hosting a Tazieh performance on September 6-12.

Tazieh is a religious play reenacting historical, tragic, and epic events of Karbala and the martyrdom of Imam Hossein (AS).

The first ten days of the month of Muharram are the time to commemorate the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein (AS), the third Shia Imam and the grandson of Prophet Muhammad [PBUH], as well as his loyal companions in the Battle of Karbala.

Tazieh is one of the rituals held in Muharram in Iran. Wearing special clothes and reading verses related to the massacre on the plains of Karbala, the performers of Tazieh reenact the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS) and his companions.
