MANCHESTER, ENGLAND - OCTOBER 23: Shiite Muslim devotees pray before they take part in a ritual self-flagellation procession on October 23, 2015 in Manchester, England.

The Rusholme district of Manchester has a large Shite community around the famous "Curry Mile". Devotees show their solidarity with the martyr Hussein by beating themselves and in some cases drawing their own blood. (Photo by Christopher Furlong/Getty Images)
