Review on The Pilgrimage To Mecca

around 60,000 pilgrims paraded through the holy cities of Mecca and Medina reconstructing the same route that Muhammad did fourteen periods ago and trying the "ihram", a habit for the occasion made up of two open bits of spotless white cloth deprived of layers.
The most important days began when the pilgrims, after spending the night in Mina, some eight kilometers east of Mecca, set out for Mount Arafat, a mound about 15 kilometers east of the city, where they spend the afternoon to chant prayers.

During the night, back in Mina, the crowd prepared to celebrate "Eid al Adha" (The Feast of Sacrifice), the most important event in the Muslim calendar, in commemoration to remember how Abraham existing the life of his first-born son to God. . Hundreds of lambs are slaughtered in Mina. The pilgrimage concludes with the ritual of "ramyi".
The pilgrims throw stones at three pillars that symbolize Satan. The stones were previously sterilized and distributed by the Saudi authorities to avoid contagion of the coronavirus. Until 2020, the ritual of throwing the stones used to be chaotic and crowds gathered in front of the columns of the devil's temptations in the Mina area, where stampedes and deadly incidents took place.
To end the hajj, the pilgrims circled the "Kaaba" another seven times, a cubic building in which a black stone that Muslims consider a piece of paradise is guarded.
This year the ritual has left much more organized prints, with worshipers maintaining a safe distance and respecting the security measures imposed by the Saudi kingdom.
The authorities have organized the entrance of pilgrims to the Great Mosque through specific doors for each group and following the preventive norms against the pandemic, which has substantially changed this religious event.
As a precaution, places of worship have been disinfected and marks have been set on carpets so that parishioners respect the two meters of social distance.
