The cadres of the Department of the Care of the Holy Sanctuary in the al-Abbas’s (p) Holy Shrine have completed the periodic work of cleaning and washing the dome and two minarets of the shrine of Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him), according to a plan drawn up by the department in line with weather conditions and climate fluctuations, which may affect the luster and shine of the golden tiles of the dome and minarets, in order to perpetuate and preserve their life and to show their beauty in a manner worthy of the sanctity of the Holy Shrine of our master Aba al-Fadl al-Abbas (peace be upon him).
Cleaning works are carried out using special cleaning materials and equipment that do not affect the golden tiles of the dome and the two minarets. The first stage of cleaning included the holy dome, starting from the eastern side opposite the Euphrates Gate (Al-Alqami), from top to bottom, that is, from the base of the holy dome’s flag to the bottom of the dome, after which the cleaning of the minarets began.
