Muslim pilgrims arrive to cast stones at a pillar, symbolizing the stoning of Satan, in a ritual called "Jamarat," a rite of the annual hajj, in Mina near the holy city of Mecca on October 06, 2014. The pilgrims perform a series of rituals during the annual Hajj. They circumambulate the kaaba seven times, run back and forth between the hills of Al-Safa and Al-Marwah, drink from the Zamzam Well, go to the plains of Mount Arafat to stand in vigil, and throw stones in a ritual Stoning of Devil. The pilgrims then shave their heads, perform a ritual of animal sacrifice, and celebrate Eid al-Adha holiday. Photo by Ashraf Amra
