Iran Press/ Iran News: The Secretary of World Imam Hussain Infants Assembly said in a presser on Tuesday that 8,000 congregations will be held in Iran and 45 countries, the participants of which are predicted to reach 8 million.
Davood Manafipour told in an interview with IranPress reporter that this year, over 100 clothing sewing and packaging workshops will be active in the country, the center of which is Tehran, where 120,000 clothes have been sewn and sent abroad.
The event is a symbolic move wherein mothers clad their infants in green to commemorate the youngest martyr of the Karbala, Ali Asghar, announcing their allegiance to follow the path of Imam Hussein (AS).
The International Day of Ali Asghar narrates and screens the incident of Ashura and Al Umayyad's oppression, pressures, and bullying against Imam Hussain and his companions more than 1,300 years ago.
Ali Asghar is the most minor son of Imam Hussein (AS) and his wife, Lady Rubab (SA). Mothers gather at the event and bring their infants to show sympathy for Lady Rubab (SA).
The event is annually held in a number of countries, including Iran, India, Pakistan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Türkiye, and Afghanistan.
