Hordes of pilgrims embarked on a symbolic stoning of the Devil in Saudi Arabia on Sunday, the ritual marking the final days of the Hajj, or Islamic pilgrimage, and the start of the Eid al-Adha celebrations for Muslims around the world.

The stoning is among the final rites of the Hajj, which is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.
