Millions Gather in Istanbul and Beyond for Eid al-Adha Prayers

Millions Gather in Istanbul and Beyond for Eid al-Adha Prayers

On May 27, millions of Muslim worshippers across the globe gathered to perform Eid al-Adha prayers, marking the beginning of the Feast of Sacrifice. In Istanbul, large congregations assembled at the city's most significant religious landmarks, including the historic Süleymaniye Mosque and the Sultanahmet Mosque (widely known as the Blue Mosque).


These large-scale gatherings in Istanbul mirrored similar early-morning prayers held in major cities worldwide, from Jerusalem and Mecca to Berlin, reflecting the unified global observance of one of Islam's most important holidays.
