The mayor of Qom has expressed condolences over the demise anniversary of Hazrat Fatemeh Masoumeh (AS) in a message released on Monday.
Dr. Seyyed Morteza Morteza Saghaeiannejad referred to the great virtues and character of Hazrat Fatemeh Masoumeh (AS), saying we should make efforts to introduce the Seerah of the great lady and different aspects of her character.
In the meantime, the holy shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (AS) along with the streets in Qom were blackened on the occasion of her demise anniversary.
The blackening event was held in compliance with all health instructions imposed by the pandemic restrictions.
Every year, several groups of mourners from different parts of Qom province and also from across the country gathered at the holy shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (AS) ahead of the demise anniversary of the noble lady, but in the last two years, due to the Coronavirus limitations, religious ceremonies were canceled.
Hazrat Fatemeh Masoumeh (AS) is the daughter of Imam Musa Kadhim (PBUH) and the sister of Imam Reza (PBUH).
She arrived in the city in the year 816 (AD) on her way to Mashhad but passed away a few days later and was buried in Qom.
The 10th day of the lunar Hijri month of Rabi al-Thani (Tuesday, November 16 this year) marks her demise anniversary.
