Mideast Lebanon Ashoura Day

Shiite Muslim supporters of the Hezbollah, sit on the ground as they listen to the death story of Imam Hussein, during a march to mark Ashoura Day, in the southern suburb of Beirut, Lebanon, Sunday Nov. 25, 2012. Ashoura day is the remembrance of the 680 A.D. battle in which their saint and grandson of Islam’s prophet Muhammad, Hussein, was killed by rivals cementing the split in Islam between Shiites and Sunnis. Arabic writing on their vests read, „on your service Hussein, on your service Prophet Mohammad.” (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)
