The evening of Ashura by Master Mahmood Farshchian, was painted in 1976.
The day of Ashura is the 10th day of Muharram in Islamic calendar. In this tragic day Hossain ibn Ali, the grandson of the prophet Mohammad (may Allah bless him) and lots of his families, even his six-month baby were martyred by kaffirs and tyrants.
It is the day of mourning and sorrow for Shi`a Muslims all over the world.
