Thousands
of Muslim pilgrims cast stones at a pillar, symbolising stoning Satan,
in a ritual called "Jamarat," the last and most dangerous rite of the
annual hajj, near the Saudi holy city of Mina on December 8, 2008. To
complete the ritual, a pilgrim must throw 21 pebbles at each of three
25-meter (82-foot) pillars and this year the faithful are being given
pebbles in pre-packed bags to spare them the effort of searching for
the stones. (KHALED DESOUKI/AFP/ Getty Images) #

November 29, 2008. The Kaaba cover is called Kiswa and is changed every
year at the culmination of the annual Hajj or pilgrimage. The Kaaba,
Islam's holiest site which stands in the centre of Mecca's Grand
Mosque, contains the holy Black Stone which is believed to be the only
piece remaining from an altar built by Abraham. (KHALED DESOUKI/AFP/
