It is worth noting, the preventive measures taken against the coronavirus imposed on the believers to avoid the congregations and hold televised or online Ashura ceremonies.
In this context, Hezbollah held a televised Ashura ceremony in which the tragic martyrdom of Imam Hussein (P) and his companions in Karbala ended by a speech delivered by the Secretary General Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah.
In Iraq, thousands of believers flocked into the Holy Shrines in Karbala to mark the Ashura Day.
