Stock Photo - October 2015, Toronto, Ontario, Canada --- Iranian Shiites take to the streets during the holy month of Muharram to commemorate the death of the third Imam, Hussein, slain along with 72 of his comrades in a battle against the army of the seventh-century caliph Yazid. In keeping with the military nature of these Ashura processions, mourners simulate self-flagellation with light-weight chains and pound on their chests to the thump of a bass drum and the crackle of a snare. --- - TORONTO, ONTARIO, Canada, 24/10/2015
