Eid celebrations in Greater Boston area

These pictures were taken at the Reggie Lewis Athletic Center in Roxbury during the sermon of the Eid Al-Fitr feast last Sunday, marking the end of Ramadan.
There were an estimated 9-10,000 people attending the celebration in Roxbury, along with 17 other mosques in the Greater Boston area that celebrated with smaller numbers, 9 of which exceeded 1,000.

I received these pictures from Professor Muhammad from my 'Abrahamic Family Reunion' course at BC. He informed us that the Muslims in Boston truly represent a "United Nations" of devotees from all across the umma, everywhere from Egypt to Morocco, Montenegro to Turkey, Indonesia to Pakistan.
