Grand Ayatollah Shirazi Performs Walking Ritual on the Morning of Ashura

On the morning of Muharram 10th, marking the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) on the Day of Ashura, the Grand Shia Jurist Ayatollah Sayed Sadiq Shirazi walks barefooted to express his condolences on this mournful occasion. His eminence repeats this ritual each year on the Day of Ashura, after taking part in the memorials of the master of martyrs, Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) at the house of his son, Sayed Jaafar Shirazi.

It is worth noting that the Grand Jurist’s House welcomes crowds of mourners and Shia believers who commemorate the martyrdom of their master, Imam Hussain (peace be upon him) on the fateful Day of Ashura. These memorials will continue until the 13th of the month of Muharram 1441 AH.
