Iraq Christians cancel Christmas celebrations to honor Ashuraa
By: Ismail Zabeeh
BASRA, Iraq: The Christian community in the provinces of southern
Iraq have decided to suspend all celebrations marking Christmas and
New Year that coincide this year with Ashura Al-Imam Al-Hussein (peace
be upon him) to express solidarity with the grief of Muslims on
sufferings of Imam Hussein and Ahlil Beit (a.s.) in the month of
Muharram.
A statement issued by the Christian community in Basra said that all
celebrations in the provinces of southern Iraq have been cancelled and
only religious rituals will be performed in churches to respect Ashura
and to tribute the grievances of Abi Abdullah Al-Hussein (peace be
upon him).

"Knowledge is
better than wealth because it protects you while you have to
guard wealth. it decreases if you keep on spending it but the
more you make use of knowledge ,the more it increases . what you
get through wealth disappears as soon as wealth disappears but
what you achieve through knowledge will remain even after you."MORE
