Milan, Italy – On July 6, 2025, thousands of individuals participated in the annual Shiite Ashura ceremony, transforming parts of Milan's city center into a vibrant procession. Dressed predominantly in black, men were observed engaging in traditional ritualistic chest-beating and chanting, a practice central to the commemoration of Imam Hussein's martyrdom. Women, many wearing veils, were present in a designated area, separated from the main procession by a red and white barrier. The event, marked by the presence of numerous religious banners and flags, moved through the city streets, drawing a significant crowd. Ashura is a solemn day of mourning for Shiite Muslims worldwide, commemorating the Battle of Karbala.
