Muslims Worldwide Celebrate Eid al-Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice
Muslims worldwide have begun celebrating Eid al-Adha, the Feast of Sacrifice, which coincides with the final day of the Hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia. This year's Hajj has drawn more than 1.7 million pilgrims against a backdrop of the Gaza conflict and heightened US-Iran tensions. The holiday honors the Prophet Ibrahim's act of faith and is marked by prayer, animal sacrifice, and charity.
