(1 Sep 2017) Muslim worshippers in Pristina joined together in prayer on Friday to mark Eid al-Adha, or the 'Festival of Sacrifice'.
The holiday commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim - or Abraham as he is known in the Bible - to sacrifice his son in accordance with God's will, though in the end God provides him a sheep to sacrifice instead.
Traditionally, Muslims sacrifice an animal at Eid and share the meat with their families, neighbours, and people less fortunate than themselves.
Kosovo is considered secular although the overwhelming majority of its population is Muslim.
