Muslims who live in Greece participate in a Shiite Muslim religious procession using swords and chains to self-inflict cuts in Athens on Sunday, Dec. 27, 2009. The procession marks Ashura, the climax of mourning for Imam Hussein, the 7th century grandson of Islam’s founding prophet Mohamed whose death in Karbala, Iraq, is remembered by Shiite Muslims worldwide.
