In Iraq, pilgrims continue to arrive in the holy city of Karbala to mark the 40th day of mourning for the martyrdom of Imam Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Mohammed and a founding figure in Shia Islam. Arbaeen, which means forty in Arabic, is one of the world’s largest religious gatherings and a major event for Shia Muslims, who are the majority in both Iraq and Iran. Iraqi authorities expect over 20 million pilgrims from various nations to participate in the pilgrimage.
