About this day
The Centre marks the passing of Sayyida Zaynab (a) on 24 Safar. This is not a firm date: many Twelver communities keep her remembrance on 15 Rajab, and the Centre lists that day as well. Families who follow the Rajab reckoning will find the same remembrance on the calendar there too.
