Turkish Cypriots and other Muslims across Cyprus celebrated the beginning of Eid al-Adha , one of the two main festivals on the Muslim calendar, on Friday.
The festival is celebrated during the last month of the Islamic calendar, Dhu al-Hijja, during which many Muslims from across the world make the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca.
Eid al-Adha begins with prayers, which were performed in Cyprus at 6.05am.
