A girl wearing a protective face mask to help prevent spread of the coronavirus holds her doll as she attends a mourning ceremony to commemorate the 7th century death of Prophet Muhammad's grandson Hussein, one of Shiite Islam's most beloved saints, who was killed in a battle in Karbala in present-day Iraq, at the Tehran University Musalla, Iran, Saturday, August 29, 2020. The organizers arranged for the processions to take place with physical distancing, made face masks mandatory, checked mourners' body temperature and had them use hand sanitizers in an attempt to keep the gathering safe. Every year, millions of believers and followers of Shiite Islam flock to mosques for the ritual but this year the virus pandemic has scaled it down. (Photo by Vahid Salemi/AP Photo)
