Muslims mark Eid and final days of hajj in Saudi Arabia

Close to 2.5 million pilgrims took part in a symbolic stoning of the devil in the final days of the hajj pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia as Muslims around the world marked the start of the Eid al-Adha celebrations. In Mina, pilgrims spend the final days of hajj throwing pebbles at a pillar in a symbolic casting away of evil. To mark the completion of the hajj, male pilgrims shaved their hair and women trimmed theirs on Saturday to represent a spiritual renewal and rebirth.
