May 27, 2026
Thousands of Muslim worshippers gathered at the Moscow Cathedral Mosque and across key Russian regions on Wednesday to observe the annual Islamic festival of Eid al-Adha, marking the culmination of the holy Hajj pilgrimage. Visual footage captured sprawling crowds lining the streets of the capital to participate in unified morning prayers before exchanging customary peace greetings with the head Imam. Beyond Moscow, large-scale mass celebrations and ritual sacrifices gripped historical Islamic centers in St. Petersburg, Kazan, and Shali in the Chechen Republic, where local families and international students from nations including Iraq and Guinea congregated at landmark local mosques. The major public display of faith, widely filmed via advanced panoramic 360-degree cameras, highlighted a vibrant spirit of charity and communal unity as families distributed traditional livestock offerings to those in need across the Russian Federation. #eidaladha #russia #moscowmosque #eidmubarak #eidprayers #kazan #chechnya #breakingnews #islamicfestival #360video In this Times Now World News report, we break down the this topic: Stay connected with Times Now World for real-time global news and analysis: Read full coverage: https://www.timesnownews.com/world Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/timesnow.world Follow us on X: https://x.com/TimesNow_World #timesnowworld #worldnews #breakingnews
