Huge Crowds Fill the Streets for Eid al-Fitr Prayer in Moscow, Russia

Bowing their heads in prayer, Muslim worshipers gather for Eid al-Fitr prayer at the Moscow Cathedral Mosque. The holiday marks the end of the Ramadan fast. After prayers, the congregation enjoys a freshly-cooked meal. The mosque’s cook boils huge cauldrons of traditional plov - a rice-based dish with meat and vegetables. After the feast, there are rides and a bouncy castle for children. This year around 3,100 people attended prayers at the mosque. An estimated 20 million of Russia’s population are Muslim.
