Today millions of Muslims around the world celebrate what is known as Eid. Eid is celebrated twice a year, the first, immediately after the month of Ramadan, the second—during the holy pilgrimage. The communal prayer prescribed to be prayed on Eid is the part known to bring the community together, drawing great crowds. Because of the pandemic, there were no crowds in Lexington today, small or large. But it was a beautiful day nonetheless, with families gathering to mark Eid. The sun shone copiously over everyone all day long. Eid Mubarak ⭐ #TogetherKY #TeamKentucky #HealthyAtHome
