It takes many men to carry this
|
Crowds follow the procession towards the shrine
|
A small child watching the ceremony
|
The men struggle to hold up the floats
|
A wave of feathers
|
Colour above the wave of black chadors
|
The procession seemed endless
|
Men flail themselves to represent Hoseyn's suffering
|
Here a man represents the dead Hoseyn and his son
|
Another part of the procession
|
A baby in the crowd
|
Flags for Arbaeen
|
This looked like a dragon to us, twirling through the crowd
|
A woman watching the Arbaeen ceremony
|
Even small children join in
|
This young boy was very serious
