A Shiite faithful pilgrim beats himself with chains as a sign of grief for Imam Hussein during a Muharram procession outside the holy shrine of Imam Ali, the son-in-law and cousin of the Prophet Muhammad and the first Imam of the Shiites, in Najaf, Iraq, Monday, August 16, 2021. Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar, is a month of mourning for Shiites in remembrance of the death of Hussein, the grandson of the Prophet Muhammad, at the Battle of Karbala in present-day Iraq in the 7th century.
