Iranians prepare for Muharram mourning ceremonies

Iranians prepare for the upcoming Muharram mourning ceremony by purchasing well-crafted accessories from local markets, just days before the Islamic month of Muharram begins.

From black attire and armbands to flags and banners, these items hold a special significance during this solemn time.

Check out the snapshots capturing the essence of Iranian culture and their devotion to the third Shia Imam, Imam Hussein (AS).

On the 10th of Muharram, known as Ashura, a day etched in the annals of history, Imam Hussein (AS) and his loyal companions were martyred.

They fought valiantly but were ultimately overwhelmed by the oppressive forces. This tragedy left an indelible mark on the Islamic world, forever cementing Imam Hussein's (AS) legacy as a symbol of resistance.
