Haj pilgrims take part in first of three-day 'stoning of the devil' ritual | ABS-CBN News

Muslim pilgrims performed a symbolic 'stoning of the devil' on Sunday (June 16), the riskiest part of the annual haj pilgrimage as large numbers of people gather to perform the ritual.
Pilgrims arrived in Mina after they spent the night in Muzdalifa plain where they gathered pebbles to throw at stone columns symbolizing the devil.
The ritual of stoning, known as Jamarat, marks the first day of Eid al-Adha, or the feast of sacrifice, which is celebrated by Muslims across the globe on Sunday.
