Night-time Ceremonies for the Holiday


This is the religious holiday called Ashura - which draws many crowds to the mosques and shrines and just to the streets. There was a large gathering at this mosque/shrine at night, where they said some prayers and chanted. It was very beautiful and the lights of the green dome were incredible. The children all had flags. This is the same setting as above, but in the daytime it was without the green lights, and the blue tile showed more. Posted by Hello
