Over 14 thousand pilgrims readying to commemorate Al-Askariyain World Victory Day

The Al-Wala’ wa al-Fida’ wa al-Fateh Procession has begun preparations for the annual trip to Holy Samarra to support the two holy Imams on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan.

Under the slogan “Here We Are O Askariyain” and following the directives of Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sadiq al-Husseini al-Shirazi, who has been naming the last Friday of the great month of Ramadan “The Askariyain Victory Day” for 50 years, Al-Wala’ wa al-Fida’ wa al-Fateh Procession began the preparations for the annual free trip to Samarra.

It is worth noting that this pilgrimage caravan is one of the biggest of its kind in the history of Samarra. It is organized by Sayyid Aref Nasrullah, the head of the Public Relations Office of Grand Ayatollah Shirazi in holy Karbala.

Sayyed Nasrullah said in a statement received by Shia Waves that, “This year, the Procession is transporting over 14 thousand loyal pilgrims to Holy Samarra to commemorate and glorify Al-Askariyain World Victory Day, peace be upon them.”
