Thousands of pilgrims from different parts of Syria as well as other countries took part in the rituals on Thursday, Al-Alam reported.

Speakers at the ceremony highlighted the life and Seerah of Hazrat Zaynab (SA) and her bravery, patience, sincerity, and selflessness.

One of the pilgrims told Al-Alam that Hazrat Zaynab (SA) is a role model who is like Hazrat Zahra (SA) in fortitude, Imam Ali (AS) in eloquence, Imam Hassan (AS) in patience, and Imam Hussein (AS) in courage.

Another pilgrims said the great lady was the messenger of Imam Hussein (AS), adding that without her, the movement of Imam Hussein (AS) would not have spread.
