Arba’in-e Hosseini Friday February 5 2010 (the date changes according to the year)
*The name simply means "40" in Arabic, and celebrates the 40th and last day of the mourning period for Imam Hussein, killed on the flat plain outside Karbala in 680 CE. Since Ashura is the date of his martyrdom, Arbain is always observed 40 days after Ashura. ***http://www.cbi.ir/about/holidays.asp
