Around Tabriz Grand Bazaar, Candles are lit to observe the night before Ashura, in remembrance of the solitude and despair felt by the wives and children of Hussein(as) and his followers. The two-day religious ceremony of Tassoua-Ashura is an essential date in the Shi'iah Muslim calendar. In cities throughout Iran, thousands of Iranians mourning in tribute to the suffering of Hussein, grandson of the Prophet (PBUH), who was slain in battle in 680 C.E.
