Oahu Muslims gathered yesterday in Kapiolani Park to celebrate Eid al-Adha. The holiday is translated as "sacrifice feast," and is celebrated at the time of the annual pilgrimage to Islam's holiest site at Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Taylor Kronabel, 2, stood quietly as the women around her bowed in prayer.
