Imam Hussain

Every year in anniversary of martyrdom of Imam Hussain , Iranian people have jeremiad ceremonies in the streets in memory of him. For Shia Muslims he is symbol of justice in front of injustice. More then 1400 years ago he has been killed in a fight with his enemies in the Karbala . although our calendar is Persian but the time for ceremony is the 10th of Muharram (Ashura) upon Arabian and Islamic calendar. Today I went out of the home and took some photos of this ceremony

Some people make an avow for distributing sweet syrup between people

a kid who hit himself by chains ( this is part of ceremony )

drum sound is a familiar sound in this day , that is why some kids like to have a drum.
