QOM — The funeral procession for Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Musa Shobeiri Zanjani began on Wednesday from the Imam Khomeini Mosque and Seminary at Jihad Square in the holy city of Qom, with senior clerics, seminary professors, students, and large crowds of mourners taking part.

The body of the late religious authority will be carried along the route from Jihad Square through 19 Dey Street toward the holy shrine of Lady Fatima Masoumeh (peace be upon her), where he will be laid to rest.
