160k servants to serve pilgrims arriving for birth anniversary of Imam Reza (AS)

Mohammad Tavakkoli, Imam Reza holy shrine’s General Director for Holy Sites, said the organization has taken all necessary measures to host pilgrims arriving to celebrate the birth anniversary of the eighth Shia Imam.

“The holy shrine will bring happiness to the pilgrims and people of Mashhad by holding 37 different programs,” said Tavakkoli.

He also stated that all cultural and religious programs to mark the birth anniversary of Imam Reza (AS) will be held across the holy city of Mashhad and the entire country.

Imam Reza holy shrine’s General Director for Holy Sites further stressed: “The complex has been cleaned and decorated with beautiful flowers; special covering fabrics of the chamber’s roof which have been produced by a number of salient artists descend the structure on birth days of Hazrat Masoumeh (SA) and Imam Reza (AS)”.

Tavakkoli added: “Deployment of 170 Razavi servants to different provinces of the country in the form of ‘Under the Shade of the Sun’ caravans is another special program of the holy shrine at national level”.

He went on to say: “One of the pivotal and important measures by the General Directorate for Holy Sites is making endeavors to release prisoners of unintentional crimes; part of this move is done by providing financial resources and the other part is done by employing popular mediations”.

Mohammad Tavakkoli concluded: “During these days, one thousand and 500 charity meals will be distributed in deprived areas. Also, on the night and day of the birth anniversary of Imam Reza (AS), charity packages will be sent to the families of martyrs all over the country”.
