Photos: Beginning of Pilgrimage march from Qom to shrine of Imam Reza in Mashhad

For the 22nd consecutive year, the caravan of pilgrims walking to Imam Reza (AS) began their journey on Shahrivar 12, 1404 (early September 2025), departing from the holy shrine of Hazrat Masoumeh (SA) in Qom toward Mashhad al-Reza (AS). It’s a powerful tradition of devotion and endurance—covering nearly 1,000 kilometers on foot.
