Indonesian people attend Eid al-Adha prayer by implementing health protocol as the social distancing and wearing face masks and getting temperature checks as a precaution against the coronavirus at Merdeka Square Binjai Town near Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia on July 31, 2020.

As the world’s biggest Muslim-majority country struggles to contain the spread of the virus, worshipers were advised to maintain social distancing during the prayers.

Indonesia’s religious ministry also asked mosques to shorten the gatherings this year, while many mosques canceled the traditional ceremony when livestock is slaughtered, and meat distributed to the community.

Instead the donated sheep, goats and cows will be killed in abattoirs to mark the “Feast of the Sacrifice,” celebrated by Muslims around the world to commemorate Prophet Abraham’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail at God’s command.
