Celebrations at Alzahra Mosque, South Gate

The Al-zahra mosque holds events for many major Shia celebrations throughout the year. The ceremony pictured below is the celebration of the birthday of the 12th Shia Imam, Imam Mahdi—an aeschatological messianic figure who, according to Islamic beliefs, will appear at the end of times to rid the world of injustice.
