Fireworks light up Qom’s sky tonight on victory anniv. of Islamic Revolution

Qom Municipality lit up the city’s sky with fireworks tonight in 43 points and mosques on the occasion of the 43rd victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

The sky of the holy city of Qom will be illuminated tonight, simultaneously with the Fajr Decade and the night of the 43rd anniversary of the glorious victory of the Islamic Revolution, by the General Directorate of Communications and International Affairs of Qom Municipality.

This fireworks ceremony will be held simultaneously with all over the country and chanting the slogan of “Allah-ho Akbar” (God is Great)  by the citizens, from 43 mosques and from the roofs of Al-Ghadir commercial centers and Shamseh Bazaar.

The Iranian nation toppled the US-backed Pahlavi regime on February 11, 1979, ending the 2,500 years of monarchy in the country.

Every year Iranians mark the anniversary of their Islamic Revolution from February 1 to 11, known as the Ten-Day Fajr ceremonies. February 1, 1979, was the date when Ayatollah Khomeini returned from exile.

On February 11 each year, Iranian people pour into the streets in their millions to commemorate the great victory of the Islamic Revolution.
