Millions of Russian Muslims are celebrating Eid ul-Fitr on Tuesday, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan.In Moscow mosques were not able to accommodate all worshippers, so people poured into streets and lanes. The solution has been to allow the people to pray right outside in the street, despite the disapproval of some residents. This year, Moscow authorities opened a large exhibition center for the Muslims to visit and pray, but the novelty proved not as popular as had been hoped. Still, thousands of worshippers who found no room inside prayed around the mosques, laying down their mats on the concrete.Moscow’s mosques can host around 10,000 people, while there are more than 100,000 believers who want to take part in the celebrations. It means that 90,000 believers have to pray in the streets, lanes, on the concrete and even on tram lines.
