Tehran Helena was only 12 years old. He is an Asian karate player, whose name holds the sacred title of “mar teacher.” Her story resonates deeply in a place where medals are no longer awarded to athletes, but dedicated to martial artists.
A profound and emotional ritual took place in a small village in Sarnamak near Bilan Shahl in Lorestan province. It was a farewell to a young girl. With a big heart with small hands, the young girl brought honor to the sports arena and sacrificed her life on the battlefield of courage and innocence in her hometown.
Asian Kyokushin Karate Champion Helena Gorami has been immortalized as “martist Helena Gorami” in commemoration of the Iranian people.
Small village, big hearts and deep sadness
A gentle breeze cleared the alleys of Sarnamac on a sad but unforgettable morning. However, the villagers’ hearts were heavily heavy with deep sorrow, mixed with pride, dignity and honor, transforming the village into a symbol of unity, solidarity and resistance.
A grand and indescribable ceremony was held to honor the young martyr Helena Gorami. After years of dedication in sports and international achievements, she was brutally marched in the vicious attacks of the Zionist regime. The event brought together a large number of citizens, officials and athletes.
From dawn, the village was filled with mourning, blessings and hymns of Quran reading, enveloping the atmosphere in spirituality.
The sad cry and hymn reflect the famous refrain, heartbreaking from Helena’s absence.
The quiet sadness of a mother
In a humble house, Helena’s mother grabbed a picture of her daughter close to her heart in a painful silence. Her face reflected the waves of sadness of separation, but her eyes glowed with faith and immobility. Gently she spoke to the photo of her daughter: “My beloved Helena, I know you’re in a good place…”
She continued. “I am truly proud that my daughter has become a martian. The word “martian” brings peace to me before Helena’s name brings peace to me. She sacrificed her life for the revolution, her hometown, and our dear leaders.
Father’s Bowless Spirit
A venerable man, Helena’s father, was standing by his mother. Tears grew in his eyes, but his voice was solid and full of pride. “I proudly dedicated my child to the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei. Helena was more than a champion athlete.
A medal shining on a mother’s chest
A historic and unforgettable moment touched all the attendees. Asian karate champion and Helena’s teammate Ghazar Fati handed her gold medal she once won at the Asian Games with tears in her eyes.
The medals now represent not only the achievements of the sport, but also the pure blood of a martian, a symbol of solidarity, sacrifice and respect. The medal in the homeland…wears on the chest of a sad but proud mother.
Ghazal Fati, whose voice choked with emotion, said: “I am only part of the sports community, but I felt it was my duty to offer this medal to the pure soul of martian Helena Gorami. This medal no longer belongs to me.
Governor Laurestan: Helena, symbol of oppression and strength
Lorestan Governor Seyed Said Shaloki expressed his deep sadness over brutal Zionist crime and the martialism of a young Iranian girl. He said, “Dear Helena is a symbol of the oppression and strength of our country. Her 12-year-old martialism is the inhumane and unforgivable way of life in the Zionist regime, killing children. Helena came from a family dedicated to the value of revolution and leadership, not only was she a karate champion.
He continued. “The Golami family represents resilience and faith. This martial religion is the source of pride for this land. I pray to God to give this family patience, reward and health.”
After visiting Sarunamac and meeting the family of the martian, the governor emphasized the importance of keeping Helena’s name alive.
The child left, but the martian returned
Reports show that the ceremony ended in tears and prayers, but Helena’s voice continues to live. Little Helena was a martial artist, but her voice became flags, screams, and blood in the veins of this proud land.
Once a training ground for Helena, Sarunamac has become a gathering place to renew his vows with martyrs who protect their hometown with faith and honor, as well as weapons.
The end of this farewell was not a sunset, but a new dawn, a dawn of faith, immobility, and pride.
Today, Sarunamac is more symbolic of both oppression and honor than ever, where the child has left, but where the martians have returned.
Martyr helena gholami, your name remains eternal in the history of this land.
