Ceremonies other than weddings in Boir Ahmad, Iran

This section includes images of traditional and Islamic ceremonies: Friday prayer, traditional New Year (Eid Nouruz), funerals, and celebrations commemorating the death of important Islamic figures. The images document traditional practices, and how these have changed with time. Part of the influence in change has been then government's campaign to arouse anti-Western sentiment, and to celebrate martyrdom to the Islamic regime.
