Kids Take Part in Arbaeen March

TEHRAN (IQNA) – Among millions of Ahl-ul-Bayt (AS) devotees taking part in the annual Arbaeen march in Iraq are kids accompanying their parents in the spiritual ritual.

Arbaeen comes 40 days after Ashura, the martyrdom anniversary of the third Shia Imam, Imam Hussein (AS).

Each year, a huge crowd of Shias flock to Karbala, where the holy shrine of Imam Hussein (AS) is located, to perform mourning rites.

A large number of children took part in the Arbaeen march this year, which concluded in mourning rituals on the day of Arbaeen on Thursday.
