A two-day photographic and film exhibition on the annual pilgrimage of Arbaeen began in the Italian capital on Saturday.
Arbaeen marks the 40th day after the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein – the third Imam of Shia Muslims and a grandson of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). It is commemorated annually through a march being the biggest in the world and known as Arbaeen pilgrimage, from different countries to Karbala and holding ceremonies in the Iraqi city.
The initiative - organized by the Imam Mehdi Islamic Association and the NGO Arbaeen Travelogue - showcases a selection of photos from the world’s largest gathering in late September this year. The main focus of the exhibition is global justice.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, hundreds of thousands of Shia Muslim pilgrims converged on Karbala in late September to commemorate the end of the 40-day mourning period for the death of Imam Hussein.
People at the photo exhibition say Arbaeen should be seen as a model for our societies. One in which each and every one of us has a role irrespective of our nationality, financial status, and ethnic or religious background.
