By: Ismail Zabeeh

HOLY CITY OF KARBALA, Iraq: Martyrdom Anniversary of Al-Imam Zein al-Abidin As-Sajjad (AS) was observed in the holy city of Karbala on Moharram 25.

Marking the occasion, markets were shut while big mourning banners were placed on walls and buildings.

Flocks of mourners gathered at the holy shrine of Al-Imam Al-Hussein (AS) to extend him condolence on martyrdom of his son As-Sajjad (AS) who was 22 when the tragedy of Karbala happened in 61 AH.

Meanwhile, a special procession of Khoddam (servants) of the two holy Husseini and Abbasi shrines began from the husseini shrine compound and culminated at Al-Abbas (AS) mausoleum. Elegies were chanted during the procession. The Khoddam expressed their devotion and their stickiness to true Mohammadan path.
