Muslims throughout Palestine, and the world celebrated Mawlid – the birthday of the Prophet Mohammed – with songs, nasheed, Quranic recitations, and community gatherings.
In Gaza, as in Egypt and nearby Muslim nations, the day has a festive component, where people flood the markets to buy sweets and children dress up in special clothes.
Palestine Chronicle correspondent in Palestine joined the celebrations and sent us these photos.
