Turquoise Yazd.The  tekkiyeh.



Facade of the theater built in the XIX century for the annual celebration of the death of Hossein Imam, the theatre was destroyed but preserves its beautiful entrance, the pichtak.
During the processions of Achoura that commemorates the murder of Hossein by the Sunnites, the men sometimes flog themselves to the blood to excite the wounded hearts of the Chiïtes souls.
