Ta'ziyeh, also spelled as ta'zieh (Iranian Persian: تعزیه, romanized: taʿziye [tæʔziˈje], from Arabic تعزية taʿziya, 'condolence'), is a dramatic art form of Iran, performed by Shia Muslims, and historically also called shabih-khani (Iranian Persian: شبیهخوانی, romanized: šabih-xâni [ʃæbiːɦxɒːˈniː]), though this term is less commonly used today (see § Etymology and terminology, below). Performances of ta'ziyeh have often been described as "Iranian passion plays".
