Blood donation movement in Muharram
Since the beginning of Muharram, more than 1,800 people in Isfahan province have participated in the blood donation movement to show their faith and devotion to Imam Hussain (PBUH) who made the great sacrifice for justice. The blood donation process will continue until the end of Safar, the second month of the lunar based Islamic calendar. The movement is a replacement for an old tradition of self-flagellation with sharp objects such as knives and chains that used be performed by some people to reflect their grief over the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (PBUH) and his companions.
