Each year in the 12th month of the Islamic calendar, Muslims in America and around the world begin observing activities associated with the annual Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca. Hajj is one of the "five pillars" of the Islamic faith. (The other "pillars" include a declaration of faith, daily prayers, offering regular charity, and fasting during the month of Ramadan.) Hajj activities take place during six days (8th-13th) of the Islamic lunar month of Dhul-Hijjah. Pilgrimage is a once-in-a-lifetime obligation for those Muslims who have the physical and financial ability to undertake the journey. It is also a form of worship that involves the entire being: body, mind and soul.

It starts when a person becomes a Muslim. One of the Muslim rules is that you have to do the hajj if you can afford it. From the point you become a Muslim you are required to. Not doing it is just putting it off.

It starts ten days before the Adha Eid (Bayrum). This year the 20th of December. It is about two months after Ramadan.

About 3 hours ago. I missed it too, and I'm way bummed out. I'm hoping that they scheduled a 2nd pilgrimage.
