Thousands of Muslims, who could not fit in mosques in Moscow, the capital of Russia, performed the Eid al-Fitr prayer on the streets.
From the early hours of the morning, Muslims flocked to the Moscow Central Mosque, the Memorial Mosque and the Historical Mosque in the capital.
Special areas were prepared for Eid prayers at more than 30 locations in the Moscow region.
Those who wanted to pray in the mosques in the capital formed a density in the surrounding metro stations and streets.
The congregation of thousands of people who could not fit into the mosques overflowed into the streets, alleys and parks that were closed to traffic for security reasons.
In the streets where the police took security measures, Muslims stood for Eid prayers on their prayer rugs in the places they found suitable on the streets.
