~Crying over a martyr is keeping his mission alive~
The significance of Ashra e Zainaibia is that we keep Imam Husayn's mission alive.
We are expected to go to mosque read about the great personalities and spread their msg

Answer by Shk. Aliasghar Karmali

Ashre Zainabiya is a name kept by the shias to honour the sacrifices that the holy lady Zainab made. Because the peak of these sacrifices was in prison, they have named mid 10 days of the month of safar in her honour. And thus in these days, we need to learn lessons from the life of this holy lady.
