Diversity and Eid World Wide

Inspired by Diversity
A friend's tweet regarding Eid Celebrations in Prospect Mira  Moscow inspired me to collect a montage of photos world wide showing Muslims during Eid.

My intent is to show the vast variety among Muslim populations worldwide as communities come together in prayer to celebrate Eid Al-Fitr and the end of Ramadan.

First 2 Photos in Russia taken in Prospect Mira, Moscow

It's amazing how many people show up in major cities for Eid prayer. In Moscow, apparently they shut down streets. Picture from the same Russian news source as prior 3 pictures.

NPR and the Associated Press present international smatterings of photos from around the globe. There are a fair share of awesome European photos like this Paris, France photo where pedestrians walk by and the Mosque overflows onto the street. Where's the sisters? Hijab all up in your street France.

This lovely photo is also from NPR's Eid around the globe photos. It's a packed Masjid in Duisberg, West Germany...
