Iran Press/ Iran News: The ceremony is also held in other countries where the mothers come with their infants in their bosoms to renew allegiance with the third Shia Imam, Imam Hussain (PBUH) and convey the message of humanity, resistance, and loyalty to the world.
There, in the event and in a symbolic move, mothers clad their infants in green to commemorate the youngest martyr of the Karbala, Ali Asghar (PBUH), announcing their allegiance to follow the path of Imam Hussain (PBUH).
In Shiraz, the mothers brought their infants to Shah Cheragh Shrine to mourn Imam Hussain and his 6-month-old infant Ali Asghar (PBUH).
The ceremony was held in 570 cities within Iran and simultaneously in 45 countries worldwide as well.
The International Day of Ali Asghar (PBUH) narrates and screens the incident of Ashura and Al Umayyad's oppression, pressures, and bullying against Imam Hussain (as) and his companions happened more than 1,300 years ago.
On that day, the Tyrant of time Yazid's troops banned water to Imam Hussein (PBUH), his household, and companions.
Imam Hussain's 6-month-old infant Ali Asghar (PBUH) was thirsty, so Imam decided to show him thirsty to Yazid's troops long may they give the little Ali a little water.
The Umayyad tyrants then answered Imam; they shot little Ali in the throat with an arrow.
Ali Asghar (PBUH) was the youngest son of Imam Hussain (PBUH), the third infallible Imam martyred during the Battle of Karbala, so the innocent infant's martyrdom is commemorated by the Shia annually.
