Ashura commemorated on Manhattan streets
New York, 2008 Jan 14, IRIB
A large crowd of the lovers of Ahlul-Bayt (the Household of Prophet Muhammad) (peace of Allah upon them) gathered in New York's Manhattan on Sunday to commemorate Imam Hussain (a.s.)'s martyrdom anniversary.
People from different countries carried banners in a mourning march on Manhattan's streets for the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussain (a.s.), the grandson of Hadhrat Muhammad (s.a.w.a.) the Last Messenger of Allah. They prayed in mass after the ceremony.
Muslims all over the world commemorate the great event of Ashura in the lunar month of Muharram.
The brave resistance of Imam Hussain (a.s.) and a number of his loyal companions against the enemies on the day of Ashura has always been a source of inspiration for those who fight against oppressors and arrogant powers.
