Around 14 million pilgrims participated in the ritual pilgrimage in Karbala on Tuesday to commemorate the Arbaeen procession, the largest annual pilgrimage in the world.

The ritual, observed only by Shiite Muslims, starts in Najaf, which is where Imam Hussein’s (AS) father Imam Ali (AS)’s shrine is located, with participants wearing black clothes before setting out on a symbolic 80-kilometre walk to the holy city of Karbala that houses Imam Hussein’s (AS) shrine.

Security was reportedly tight during the procession in order to ensure the safety of the pilgrims in Iraq.

The procession is called Al-Arbaeen or “The 40th” in Arabic as it happens on the 40th day following the anniversary of the martyrdom of Imam Hussein (AS).
