"Chehellom "– October 26, 2022

Number 40 is a kind of miracle. According to the fiction, God created humankind in 40 days, Noah's Flood remained in  40 days, Jesus sat in the desert for the challah, and Buddha sat under the Xirfone tree for 40 days and meditated.

Forty-seven days ago, a 22-year-old Kurdish girl came to Tehran, and she got arrested and unfortunately died, and after that, everything turned down. Iranian people were waiting for a spark to bring their anger to the street.

CNN :Clashes in Iran as thousands gather at Mahsa Amini’s grave, 40 days after her death

"Chehelom"… is Persian for fortieth, it also refers to the 40th day after a person's death in Iran. It is a particularly respected day to gather with family, friends, and even strangers to mourn for the deceased as if they passed away yesterday. Chehelom is the last time before the death anniversary that people join the grief of and support the family of the lost one and pay tribute to the beloved of a family and the contributing member of a town or city. Mahsa Amini's Chehelom, October 26, was also to pay tribute to the Kurdish daughter of the entire Iranian nation, to celebrate the young life of an innocent soul taken by the barbarism of the Islamic Republic (of Iran.) As her death marked the beginning of the ongoing revolution in Iran, an unprecedented mass of mourners was expected. Hundreds of Iranians marched to Mahsa's grave amid all the roads blocked by the regime's security forces, and demonstrations and protests were widely held in her memory throughout Iran. Mahsa's Chehelom was clearly additional fuel to the unbeatable spirit and bravery of the Iranian freedom-seekers every day and night since September 16 in each city of Iran.
