"The five-day festival of lights was seen in Tehran's Keshavarz Street for Eid al-Adha on Wednesday. Footage shows parents and children celebrating the holidays and enjoying the beautiful decorations - which some said provided a much-needed morale boost. "It is very beautiful. After the war, it was very good for people's morale. This lighting on Keshavarz Boulevard, and all these lights for Eid al‑Adha, were excellent," said Roya Heydari, one resident. Another, Ali Mohammadi said: "After these wartime conditions and the hardship people have experienced, such activities have a real impact on morale. Things like this are good, especially for children and families who come to see them and feel good." Nahid Farshadmehr added: "I hope these installations expand across the entire city so that more people have the chance to enjoy these moments. Eid al‑Adha indeed coincided with these lights, but I hope this continues and the city gets beautiful." Eid al-Adha is one of the most significant religious occasions in the Islamic world. It coincides with the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca. The 'Feast of Sacrifice', commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) and his willingness to sacrifice his son to God, before God provided a ram in his place. It is marked by the ritual sacrifice of a sheep, goat or cow, with the meat divided between family, friends and those in need. Talks are reportedly ongoing between the US and Iran following the fragile ceasefire and crisis in the Strait of Hormuz. "
