Mina, outskirts of Makkah, Dhu-AlHijjah 11, 1437, September 13, 2016, SPA -- In this second day of Eid Al-Adh-ha, pilgrims will have to continue their stone-throwing ritual which they started yesterday by throwing Jamrat Al-Aqaba, the grand replica of the devil. Today and, optional for tomorrow, a pilgrim, female or male, will gather seven stones to throw them at each of the three replicas of the devil, starting with the smallest as follows: Al-Jamratul Sughra, Al-Jamratul Wosta and Jamrat Al-Aqaba. He/she will then either stay in Mina to repeat the worshipping for the next and last day or quit Mina before today's sunset, otherwise he/she will compulsorily stay the night in Mina, make the last stoning tomorrow and head for a farewell Tawaf, circumambulation in Makkah, to end his/her pilgrimage. SPA photographers have spotted well-done order, together with needy supplies at and in the vicinity of the three replicas, provided by the private sector. The governmental authorities, particularly the Hajj Security force, civil defense, traffic and health authorities, scouts associations, helpers and guides are in tight control of the situation around the Jamarat. --SPA 12:44 LOCAL TIME 09:44 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
