When is Ashura 2014?

Ashura in year 2014 is on Tuesday, the 4th of November.

The 10th of Muharram is called Ashura and Muharram is the first month of Islamic calender.

Ashura is always on the same day in the Islamic calendar but it is not in the Georgian calender because of the difference between these two calenders.

Ashura marks the day when Imam Hussein, the grandson of Prophet Mohammad, along with 72 of his companions was martyred more than 14 centuries ago thus every year on the day of Ashura, millions of mourners commemorate their martyrdom anniversary.

The following images were taken on Ashura in the previous year:
