Imamzadehs Hamzeh and Ahmad - Qom: The artwork of the walls and arches





th

Here we can see the immense size of the walls and the art.





One of the fallen tiles.  It was explained to us that these pieces can not be relaced now because the color can not be matched due to the age as well as the wearing of the original color from the sun.





The children with the caretaker of the site who gave us all the information.  Behind them is the room where Imamzadeh Hamza (as) is buried.  We were able to go in but not able to offer prayers there as it was under construction since 'eid e borzorg' the Big Eid whicn in Iran refers to Nowruz.  This site relies on donations to keep it maintained as it is 'azad' or independently looked after and does not rely on any funds from the government.  We offered prayers in the adjacent room which was the room of 
Imamzadeh Hamza's (as) grandson, Imamzadeh Ahmad.  

As you can see here, even the doors were ornate and quite intricately hand worked.
