Lament of Yazid's Gathering: Difference between revisions

'''Elegy (Rawḍa) of Yazīd's Gathering''' (Persian: {{ia|روضه مجلس یزید}}) is a [[rawda]] in the [[mourning]] ceremonies of [[Imam al-Husayn (a)]]. The rawda is recited after the anniversary of the [[Day of 'Ashura]], and usually in the second ten days of Muharram. It is a narration of stories happened in [[Yazid b. Mu'awiya]]'s gathering in which the [[Captives of Karbala]] were present.

In the elegy (rawda) of Yazid's gathering, the events of the gathering are recited. The [[Rawdakhwan]] reminds the audience of Yazid's offensive treatment of the head of Imam al-Husayn (a) by hitting it with a bamboo and the protests of some people in the gathering to Yazid. The story of Hinda, the wife of Yazid, is sometimes recited in this elegy. The elegy also involves a recount of Imam al-Sajjad's (a) sermon and a digression to the elegy of the martyrdom of Imam al-Husayn (a).
