Poets from Gerash, Lar and Evaz were also present in the ceremony and presented their poems for the Holy Prophet Mohammad, Imam Hassan and Imam Reza, the third and eighth Imams of the Shiites. A hymnody by the Misbahol-Hoda Group from Lar, and two short lectures by Mr. Foroudi, the Governor of Gerash, and Dr. Mehrabi, professor of philosophy, were the other parts of this Poetry Night.
