He said on the days of Tasua and Ashura (9th and 10th days of Muharram) as well as on Arbaeen (anniversary of the 40th day after martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS) and his companions) and the 28th day of Safar- which marks the demise anniversary of the Holy Prophet (PBUH)- special tents will be set up in 22 parks of the city to raise public awareness and insight about the uprising of Imam Hussein (AS).
They will feature exhibits of books and works on Ashura, as well as educational workshops. Also, questions about the event of Ashura will be answered in these tents, Ramezani noted.
