    Eid Al Adha 2020: Muslims around the world celebrate with family and feasts

    Muslims prepare to celebrate the conclusion of Haj, one of the pillars of Islam

    Eid Al Adha 2020
    While traditions of celebration may vary across the world, there are some commonalities in the marking of Eid Al Adha. Typically there’s a feast and a meeting of family, laughter and for those so inclined, a dash of henna to mark the festive occasion. Here’s a look at some preparations from around the globe. In Palestine, women ready traditional date-filled cookies on their terraces (as pictured here) in the West Bank town of Hebron. Image Credit: AFP

    Henna is thought to bring good luck – during festivals such as Eid, women take the time to apply intricate patterns to their hands in countries including Pakistan. Here, a woman wearing a mask, as is protocol against the spreading of germs and COVID-19, is seen tattooing a client in Rawalpindi on July 30, 2020, ahead of the Eid celebrations. Image Credit: AFP

    Eid Al Adha 2020
    People waiting for their orders at a butcher’s in Lebanon's northern port city of Tripoli, as Muslims across the world are getting ready to celebrate Eid al-Adha. Tradition dictates that Muslims donate cuts of mutton during Friday's Eid al-Adha festival, which usually means brisk business for butcher Abdulrazak Darwish but Lebanon's economic crisis has cast a pall over his trade. The Lebanese pound has in recent months lost around 80 per cent of its value against the dollar on the black market. That devaluation has had a huge impact on prices and the purchasing power of ordinary Lebanese. Image Credit: AFP
