An elderly Palestinian man stands above a grave of one of his relatives in a cemetery next to Hebrew graffiti during the Eid al-Adha holiday in Gaza City, Saturday, Oct. 4, 2014. Muslims around the world Saturday celebrated Eid al-Adha to commemorate the willingness of the prophet Ibrahim - or Abraham as he is known in the Bible - to sacrifice his son in accordance with God's will, though in the end God provides him a sheep to sacrifice instead. The major Muslim holiday coincides this year with the Jewish holiday of Yom Kippur, the first time this has happened since 1981. (AP Photo/Khalil Hamra)
