The Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine continues to hold its central mourning council in the courtyard of the shrine of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him) for the third consecutive day.
And the Public Speaking Division of Hussayni Preaching at the holy shrine oversees the councils held in the first ten days of the month of Muharram.
The council was attended by a number of the holy shrine's servants and officials, along with a group of mourning visitors.
The council began with a fragrant recitation of verses from the Holy Quran, followed by a lecture by Sheikh Ali Mohan, who presented glimpses from the journey of Imam al-Hussayn, his family, and his companions (peace be upon them). He highlighted the values embodied by that journey, from supporting the truth and reviving justice to images of patience, sacrifice, and martyrdom. The council also included the reading of elegies and poems that depicted the scenes of sorrow and the painful tragedy of Ashura, amidst an atmosphere filled with grief.
The Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine is keen on holding Hussaini councils with the aim of commemorating the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) and conveying their knowledge, virtues, and noble conduct.
