TEHRAN, Jul. 24 (MNA) – The mourning ceremony of the 6th night of Muharram was held on Sunday night in Maryanaj City in the Hamedan province of Iran.
Muharram is the first month of the Islamic calendar. The tenth day of Muharram is known as Ashura. Among Shia Muslims, Ashura is observed through large demonstrations of high-scale mourning as it marks the death of Hussein ibn Ali, the third Imam of Shia, who was martyred during the Battle of Karbala in 680 CE.
