Iran Press/ Iran news: Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Reza (A.S.), the eighth Shia Holy Imam, was born on 11th Zee al-Qa'adah 148 A.H. in the holy city of Madinah.
He was divinely entitled 'Al-Reza" (meaning that Allah Almighty and His Holy Messenger (S.A.W.) were deeply pleased with him).
The Holy Imam (A.S.) is also considered the Aalim (the Greatest Erudite) of the Holy Ahlul Bayt (A.S.).
More than 300,000 flowers donated by flower growers throughout Iran have been used to decorate the holy shrine.
Due to better coronavirus conditions, the ceremony was held in the presence of pilgrims and the holy shrines' servants.
At the same time, the restrictions in the holy shrine of Razavi have been minimized, and the possibility of pilgrimage to the holy shrine of Imam Reza (AS) has been provided.
Distribution of masks and observance of health protocols are still done in the holy shrine to combat the coronavirus.
The flag of the dome of the holy shrine of Imam Reza (AS) is also changed on the anniversary of his birth.
