Ashura is a religious mourning ceremony in which the Shiite Muslims commemorate martyrdom of Husayn bin Ali, the grandson of the prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and the third Imam of the Shi'as. To be honest with you I can not describe the big philosophy which is behind of this great day.
The Day of Aashurah, sometimes spelled 'Ashurah or Aashoorah, falls on the 10th day of Muharram in the Islamic calendar. He and His all family and followers were killed cruelly at the Battle of Karbala in the year 61 AH (AD 680). The word aashurah means simply ten in Arabic; hence the ceremony's name, literally translated, means "the tenth".
