Prophet’s birth ceremony in the shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh

[custom_adv]


Pilgrims at the Shrine of Fatima Masumeh follow rituals that have been passed down for centuries. Imam Ali al-Rida, Fatimah’s brother, outlined these ritual acts as he described the way he visited her Shrine. The prayer Imam al-Rida dictated to his sister continues to be part of the pilgrimage. Since the Safavid period, additional rituals have been added that are now typical for many Shi’i pilgrimages including ritual washing beforehand, dressing in perfumed clothing, and entering the site with one’s right foot.
