| The celebration of the traditional Muslim collective prayer of Eid al-Adha was scheduled for July 31 but this year it will not take place due to the health crisis caused by the coronavirus and in order to avoid crowds | The annual celebration of the traditional prayer of the Feast of Sacrifice or Eid al-Adha, scheduled for July 31, has been suspended due to the health crisis caused by the coronavirus.On the first day of this festival, the community prayer is held in the open air or musal-la.
Last year, the Muslim community of Cartagena celebrated the celebration of the Feast of the Lamb at the Mediterranean Sports Club and at the Algar Club, where around 1,500 faithful of this religion gathered to pray, as established by Islamic tradition.It is a date, together with Ramadan, very marked for Muslims since it coincides with the end of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca.
The suspension of the celebration of this holiday aims to avoid crowds.It is advisable to carry out these religious acts in the usual places of worship and avoiding the concentrations of people, in addition to following the instructions and rules of the health authorities established for places of worship.
