It is said that this mosque was named Hannana (weeper/mourner) because of the above-mentioned weeping of a pillar at its site. The weeping of the ground of the mosque, when the heads of the [[martyrs of Karbala]] were placed on it, is mentioned as an alternative explanation for the name. Some have said that the name is driven from "Hanna," the name of an old Christian monastery there. | It is said that this mosque was named Hannana (weeper/mourner) because of the above-mentioned weeping of a pillar at its site.
