It is paid for by the Sultan.  About the 23rd of the 10th month the caravan starts for Mecca on its pilgrimage to bring this carpet and put it over the Ka'ba, the cube form building over the black stone in the Sacred Mosque.  The old covering is stripped off once a year and sold in bits to the pilgrims for charms.  This departure of this caravan is the greatest event of the year in Cairo and the entire population turns out to witness it, and all strive to come to the front and touch it, which act will give them a blessing for their life time. We see only the escort composed of soldiers riding in front on horses.  The people look back toward the carpet behind carried by a camel.  A great number of pilgrims also on camels follow it.  They expect to reach Mecca within two months, for the Great Festival.\" Columns of men on horses  in line marching in the Holy Carpet Parade Original stereograph:  \"The  Holy Carpet Parade, Cairo, Egypt.\" (Keystone View Company).  7.75 x 4.2 inches.
