Thousands of Shiites in south Lebanon marked the 7th century death of their most revered saint Imam Hussein, by slashing their heads with blades on the occasion known as Ashoura. Al Hussein was a grandson of Islam's Prophet Mohammed and is a symbol of martydrom for Shiite Muslims. People take their children to hairdresser who ritually slashes the children's forehead with a razor, and after the blood is spread by hitting the wound. (AP Photo/Mohammed Zaatari)
