The special mourning ritual of Tuwairij will be held on the afternoon of Husseini Ashura, as in previous years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tuwairij procession is the most famous mourning group, originating from “Hindiya” region, 10 kilometers southeast of Karbala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This group is considered the largest Hosseini procession in the world on the Day of Ashura, which starts every year after the noon and evening prayers from the “Qantarat al-Salam” area, located two kilometers east of Karbala, and moves towards Holy Karbala.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this ceremony, a huge crowd moves towards the holy city of Karbala in response to the call of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) and chants (Labbayk Ya Hussain) and (Ya letharat al-Hussain).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Tuwairij mourning has been so favored by Iraqis that the servants of the Holy Shrines of Imam Hussein and Abalfazl al-Abbas, peace be upon them, have taken special measures in the courtyards of these two holy shrines since the beginning of the month of Muharram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the Day of Ashura in Iraq, the scholars traditionally wear a worn-out robe and, with no cloak and bare feet, while wearing a handkerchief with its tail around their neck, called (Tahtul-hanak), participate in the street mourning processions. Eventually, they join the Tuwairij group and march towards the Shrine while chanting Husseini slogans.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
