Within the program of the first day of the World Cultural Festival of the Martyrdom's Spring in its 14th edition, held by the two General Secretariats of the two holy shrines of Imam al-Hussayn and of al-Abbas (peace be upon both of them), this year under the slogan: "By al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) we make revolution and by the fatwa we are victorious", a meeting was held in one of the halls of the visitors' city of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) of the Imam al-Hussayn's (p) holy shrine, on Friday evening 3rd of Sha'ban 1439 AH corresponding to April 20, 2018, gathering the participating delegations, which differed geographically, ethnically and nationally, in order to get acquainted with each other.

In spite of their diversity, they united for the love of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him). The festival was an opportunity for mutual acquaintance between the participating delegations and personalities, as the preparatory committee organize in their honor, like in every year, a meeting session for this purpose.

This session began with the word of the participating delegations presented on their behalf by the founder and director of the Islamic Forum in USA; Sayed. Hasan al-Qazwini, in which he said: "Our presence in Karbala, the city of Imam al-Hussayn and his brother Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon both of them), in the festival of the Martyrdom's Spring, is an embodiment of the following holy verse: {O mankind, indeed We have created you from male and female and made you peoples and tribes that you may know one another. Indeed, the most noble of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you. Indeed, Allah is Knowing and Acquainted.} (49:13) (to read his speech, please click here).

This was followed by a speech of Mr. Muyassar al-Hakim, member of the preparatory committee of the festival, who gave a brief description of the urban projects constructed by the two holy shrines' managements in order to provide various services to all visitors of the holy city of Karbala, including urban, service and cultural projects such as the visitors' cities that serve the visitors of Karbala, which are spread on the mina roads leading to the holy city of Karbala. And we are now in one of these visitors' cities: The city of Imam al-Hussayn (peace be upon him) for the visitors."
