Shiite Muslims pray during the holy month of Muharram

October 2016, Toronto, Ontario, Canada --- Pakistani Shiite Muslims perform namaz (prayers) during the holy month of Muharram to commemorate 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. Thousands of Muslim Shiites across Canada participated in Ashura processions where mourners simulated self-flagellation with light-weight chains and by pounding on their chests. --- (Photo by Creative Touch Imaging Ltd./NurPhoto)
