Muslim pilgrims on the annual Hajj in Saudi Arabia threw stones on Tuesday at pillars representing the devil in a symbolic casting away of evil.
After spending the day at Mount Arafat, the pilgrims headed to a desert plain called Muzdalifa to collect pebbles to use in the ritual in Mina.
They must throw 21 pebbles at each of the three 25-meter pillars that represent the devil in a symbolic rejection of temptation. (AP) #hajj #saudiarabia #news #voanews
