After a series of meetings with officials from the Iraqi Ministry of Culture, Kerbela Study and Research Center of the Imam Hussein Holy Shrine is having the Arba'een Pilgrimage to Imam Hussein (Peace Be Upon Him) registered in the UNESCO as the largest annual peaceful cultural landmark of Muslims all over the world.

 

The center began to hold meetings and workshops to study the pilgrimage and document more details about it.

 

The Arba'een is so important an event in the Iraqi Islamic heritage, and the center, therefore, has been trying to have it officially registered as an international peaceful event where Millions of Muslims gather in the holy city of Kerbela to make a pilgrimage to Imam Hussein (Peace Be Upon Him).
