What Wikipedia says

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).
