Yesterday evening, after the Maghrib prayers, ceremonies were held to replace banners of the domes of the shrines of Imam Hussein and his brother Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon them), from red to black, marking the beginning of the sacred month of Muharram (1444 AH) and announcing grief and mourning for the tragedy of the Ahlulbayt, peace be upon them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The beginning of the ceremonies was, as usual, from the Imam Hussain Holy Shrine, where the red banner atop the holy dome was replaced with a black, amid a wide participation of the crowds of believers and mourners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
