October 2016, Toronto, Ontario, Canada --- A Pakistani Shiite Muslim woman cries as she listens to an imam recite Quranic poetry describing the death of Imam Hussein and his daughter Sakinah (Fatima al-Kubra) during the holy month of Muharram. 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. ---
