Ashura

Today we got to watch the last day of Ashura. It was something not many people get to experience. Thanks for taking us with you Waleed.
Was a very moving day!! Lots of marching, chanting and emotion!!

Ashura marks the martyrdom of the Prophet Muhammad's grandson, Hussein ibn Ali, in 680 A.D.Shiite Muslims observe Ashura through mourning rituals such as self-flagellation and reenactments of the martyrdom.Most observers wear black and march through the streets chanting and hitting themselves in the chest.
