Ashura Day, traditionally commemorated annually by the Ja'fari community, is a day of great mourning and sorrow for them, observed on the 10th of Muharram, due to the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Muhammad, and his 72 companions in Karbala. This day is not a day for celebration or making sweets; it is a day of mourning, observed by wearing black, reciting laments, and participating in ceremonies such as the Universal Ashura Mourning Ceremony, a day in which the pain of Karbala is felt.
