Distance pilgrimage amid coronavirus pandemic (photo)

Iranians visit the holy shrine of Imam Reza (AS), eighth Shia Imam, from behind the fences newly installed as holy sites are closed to public due to coronavirus pandemic. Holy shrines and religious sites in Iran are all closed due to an order by National Task Force for fighting coronavirus; therefore, people visit the holy shrines from distance on Ramadan nights, a special holy month of fasting and prayers.
