Wow! I'm here!

The day we arrive is "Ashura." Ashura is a very holy mourning day for the Muslims when Hossein, Mohammad's grandson and his 72 disciples were brutally murdered. They have all day processions and give away food. This is not a celebration but rather a mourning ritual that lasts 2 months and people are encouraged to cry freely about the martyrs. I am grateful that Yegi took me to see it since some of my family members do not like Ashura.
