Russia’s Muslims are celebrating Eid ul-Fitr, a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan.

Festive sermons have been offered by all mosques since early morning, and break-fasting festivities will continue for three days.

After sermons Muslims visit the graves of their dead relatives in remembrance of the deceased.

By tradition, the believers give alms and donate to mosques.

The end of Ramadan marks a particular occasion in Tatarstan, where Muslims make up half of the nearly four million residents.
