The Sanctuary of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him) ends the sorrows season.

After announcing the proved sighting of the crescent of the month Rabi' Awwal, the staff of the Department of the sanctuary's care at the al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine started the removal of the grief cover and the blackness signs spread in the holy sanctuary of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him) during the holy month of Muharram and the month of Safar, announcing the end of the season of the sorrows of Ahl al-Bayt (peace be upon them) and welcoming the month of Rabi' Awwal.

These works were in stages, starting by replacing the black flag that was fluttering on the top of the holy dome of the shrine of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him) with the red flag by one of the staff of the Division of the servants Sayed at the al-Abbas's (p) holy shrine. Then moving to the pavilions of the holy sanctuary, starting by the holy grid, removing the black sadness signs and the black cloth that covered the walls of the holy shrine from inside and outside.
