By condolences procession, the commemorators of Ashura commemorate the anniversary of the arrival of Imam Al-Hussayn, his family and companions (peace be upon all of them) at Karbala..

Since Imam Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) went out from the city of his grandfather (prayers and Allah's peace be upon him and his holy Household) until he arrived to Karbala, he passes through many villages along the way, but he has chosen Karbala [land of At-Taf] to install his tents, and it was on the second day of the sacred month of Muharram on the year 61 AH. And to commemorate this anniversary and in continuation of the rituals of Ashura condolences launched since the eve of the first of Muharram, the condolences procession start their march to proclaim through it their allegiance to the Messenger of Allah and Ahl Al-Bayt (prayers and Allah's peace be upon all of them) and their condolences to the Messenger of Allah (prayers and Allah's peace be upon him and his holy Household) and to the Owner of the Order and the Time; Imam Al-Hujjah (may Allah hasten his holy reappearance) on the occasion of the martyrdom of the Master of the youth of Paradise, who has drawn with this own pure bloor the path of freedom and dignity, and put the foundations and the bases of Ashura school and built around it a great fence to secure it against any fall.
The holy shrine of Aba Al-Fadl Al-Abbas (peace be upon him) welcomed the mourners and many processions to be their launch point, to head then to the holy shrine of Imam Al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) chanting elegies and lamentations, recalling this sad occasion and praying for Iraqis and the Faithful to draw inspiration from the revolutionary spirit to face all kinds of corruption. On the passage of these processions, the crowds on both of sides participate in the solace lamentations, slapping on the chests and repeating the poems, crying with the hearts before the eyes.
