“Under the Shade of the Sun” Caravans Dispatched to Two Thousand Places in the World.

The Karamat Ten Day of 1439/ 2018 also started and became the starting point of eleven-day celebrations of Shia Muslims and lovers of the household of the Apostle of God (S.A.W.). This is a ten day period which starts with birth anniversary of gracious woman of the household of the Apostle of God (S.A.W.), Hazrat Faima Masumeh (S.A.), and ends in the birth anniversary of the gracious Imam (A.S.), Hazrat Ali Ibn Musa al-Reza (A.S.). 
This year and for the 11th consecutive year, “Under the Shade of the Sun Caravans” are dispatched to various provinces, cities, and villages in all over the country and the world to take the odor and perfume of Razavi shrine as souvenir for the devoted people. 
Popular and international celebrations of under the shade of the sun are held for the 11th year. With an increase of thirty percent in dispatch, these groups are sent within eighty caravans including Razavi servants, cultural activists, panegyrists, and missionaries as their members and they travel to different places in Iran and the world this year. 
Under the Shade of the Sun Caravans travel to two thousand places in the world. These caravans are hosted and their celebrations are held in different parts of the world by two thousand popular groups having twenty thousand teenage and young members. 
Holding over nine thousand cultural events in all over the world and distributing three million blessed and cultural packages are another important point about holding these popular celebrations. 
Holding a simple public celebration or a mere ceremony is not the main goal of Under the Shade of the Sun caravans; rather visiting hospitals, military bases, and knowledge-based centers is an agenda for all the groups. Also to fulfill the year’s motto and to support Iranian producers, the flag of the Razavi Illuminated Shrine will go to heavy and light industrial centers and distributing stores. 
In international arena, these caravans will attend in fifteen countries from three continents of Asia, Africa, and Europe. Going to the academic centers, Sunni and Shia residential areas, hospitals and medical centers, visiting salient scholars, holding Qur’an recitation sessions as the common language among Muslims and also holding street shows in Europe are some programs of these groups. 
The caravans will be present among Myanmar refugees and war-torn regions of Syria as well. In Iraq’s Kurdistan also, the caravans will hold religious rituals for the first time. 
The biggest popular operation in the area of culture under the name of Imam Reza (A.S.) known “Under the Shade of the Sun” was started coincident with Karamat Ten Day. In this program, eighty caravans of Razavi servants will visit two thousand places in the world.
