Crowds of believers are escorting the symbolic coffin of Imam Al-Kadhem (peace be upon him) at the two holy shrines

The crowds of believers participated in the symbolic funeral procession for Imam Musa ibn Ja'far al-Kadhem (peace be upon him) at the shrine of Imam al-Hussayn and his brother Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon them).

The funeral ceremonies began from the courtyard of the shrine of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him), where the symbolic coffin was carried amidst an atmosphere of sorrow commemorating the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Musa al-Kadhem (peace be upon him). The procession then headed to the shrine of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him), where mourning ceremonies were held, and slogans and chants expressing the painful tragedy were recited.

The symbolic funeral procession is an annual tradition that the people of holy Karbala and the lovers of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) are keen to hold, in coordination with the Department of Rituals, Processions, and Hussayni Bodies, to express their sorrow on the martyrdom anniversary of the seventh infallible Imam, Imam al-Kadhem (peace be upon him).

The Al-Abbas's (p) Holy Shrine is keen on holding mourning ceremonies and displaying signs of sorrow during religious occasions that commemorate the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them).
