Shia shrine #3

Sayyidah Zaynab Mosque about 10 miles from downtown Damascus.
Zaynab's remains are in the golden trimmed thing in the center. Zaynab was the aunt of another woman - Sayyidah Ruqayya - also buried in Damascus at a shrine frequented by Shia pilgrims, some of you may remember from an earlier post on this blog.
