Pakistani Shiite Muslims commemorate the death of Imam Hussein during Muharram

Pakistani Shiite Muslims touch a horse symbolizing the horse that carried Imam Hussein during the battle of Karbala during the holy month of Muharram in Toronto, Canada, on October 09, 2016. Muharram 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.
