Iranians mourning the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein have held vigils on Ahura night to mark “Sham-e Ghariban” or the “Night of the Estranged.”

The ceremony honors not just the martyrs of the Battle of Karbala but also the family members that survived and this poignant observance keeps their legacy alive.
