An Australian man joins thousands of other Shia Muslims walking from the border regions of Iraq toward Karbala on November 26, 2015 to attend mourning rituals on Arbaeen, which marks the end of the 40-day mourning period following the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS) and his companions on Ashura. They will come together this Wednesday in the city that is home to the holy shrines of Imam Hussein (AS) and his brother, Hazrat Abbas (AS) to commemorate Arbaeen.
