Iranians Marked Eid Al-Adha
Elderly Iranian Muslims in ihram participate in a symbolic Haj, ''Haj Al Kabeer,'' pilgrimage by walking around a scale model of the Kaaba at Kahrizak nursing home on the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha in southern Tehran, Iran, on June 6, 2025. The Muslim community celebrates Eid Al-Adha, the Feast of the Sacrifice, a Muslim holiday in which believers kill a sheep, sometimes a cow, to commemorate the sacred passage when Abraham, following the order of God, goes to kill his son Ismael, but God ultimately asks him to kill a sheep instead.
