Eid al-Adha: Low-key celebrations for Muslims amid pandemic

Millions of Muslims worldwide are celebrating the Eid al-Adha holiday.

It marks the end of one of the five pillars of Islam – the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca.

But events in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere are quite different this year because of COVID-19.
