The people of Karbala mourn the symbolic coffin of Imam as-Sadeq (peace be upon him) at the Two Holy Shrines

The procession of the people of Karbala commemorated the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Ja'far as-Sadeq (peace be upon him) by carrying his symbolic coffin at the holy shrines of Imam Hussayn and al-Abbas (peace be upon them).

The symbolic funeral procession is an annual tradition that the people of Karbala have been keen to hold, with the participation of various Karbala organizations and processions, in cooperation with the Department of Hussayni Rituals and Processions, as an expression of their sorrow and grief over this tragedy.

The symbolic funeral procession began from the Baghdad gate area, passing through the courtyard of the shrine of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him), and then the procession headed to the shrine of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) to offer condolences to the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them).

The Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine is keen on holding mourning ceremonies and displaying signs of grief during religious occasions that commemorate the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them), including the commemoration of the martyrdom anniversary of Imam as-Sadeq (peace be upon him).
