About this day
The second of Muharram is the day Imam al-Husayn (a) entered Karbala. It is marked at the Centre with a majlis, early in the days of Muharram that lead to Ashura. The Hijri date is not one of the contested ones, though the Gregorian day it falls on still depends on the sighting of the moon.
