On the night before the first day of Muharram, Sayyed Afthal El-Shami, the Secretary General Assistant of the Imam Hussein Holy Shrine along with the rest of the pilgrims participates in the banner-change ceremony. A black banner representing grief and sorrow replaced the red banner over the dome of Imam Hussein (Peace Be Upon Him). For this reason, it is a ritual to take permission from Imam El-Mehdi to make this change and to bless all the pilgrims who made it to the Holy Shrine and those who didn't. Visitors are welcome to view the ceremony via link below http://www.imamhussain.org/video/watch=619&lng=1 Viewers can also follow the Imam Hussein Holy Shrine on Youtube via link below https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-r1HM_5EkU&list=UUG62vI9vb-neEb2t5XWT_Gg By: Wela Es-Safar Translated By: Ahmed Ali
