Pilgrimage Season (Writing Challenge day 28)
This year the pilgrimage season is different because of corona virus. It was supposed that it will be canceled as it requires a gathering of a lot of people. The Saudi Arabian government decided to accomplish the pilgrimage with limited number of pilgrims. The number in the last years was about two million and a half. This year there are only a thousand pilgrims from the citizens and residents of Saudi Arabia. The scene seemed strange but it added a spiritual feeling to everyone as there was a fear of canceling this season. The ground of the Kebba mosque was lined to help pilgrims follow the social distancing.
If you are not a pilgrim, you can do fasting, give charity and present a sacrifice.
We baked Eid cookies two days ago and will have a family gathering tonight.
Happy Eid

Nikola, the pilgrimage authorities announce the qualifications that must occur in the pilgrims. Then, people apply for pilgrimage by filling forms and then the authorities make something like lot. This year the priority was given to young people.
Thanks @Nikola😊
