Pakistani Shiite Muslims during Muharram
Pakistani Shiite Muslims touch a cradle symbolizing the cradle of Hazrat Ali Asghar (Abdullah), the youngest son of Imam Hussein, during the holy month of Muharram on 9 October 2016 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada which commemorates the death of the third Imam, Hussein, slain along with 72 of his comrades in a battle against the army of the seventh-century caliph Yazid. In keeping with the military nature of these Ashura processions, mourners simulate self-flagellation with light-weight chains and pound on their chests to the thump of a bass drum and the crackle of a snare.
