ARC-Green Pilgrimage: Maukib procession

Pilgrims in the annual Maukib procession and celebration for members of Islam's Qadiriyyah tradition in Kano, Nigeria. Kano is one of the founder members of the Green Pilgrimage Network. Sheikh Qaribullah is carried on a cart during the procession.

 

The Green Pilgrimage Network is the world's first network of faith groups and pilgrim cities working together to make their sacred sites as environmentally sustainable as possible, and to encourage their pilgrims to 'tread lightly on the Earth'.
