This happens in the last month of the Islamic calendar which commemorates Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son under God's command.

Muslims sacrifice an animal to honor the tradition and Kenyan Muslims were not left behind as they celebrated thanking God for blessings.

The celebration marks the end of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
