About Eid al-Adha
Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, is one of the two major celebrations in Islam. It honours the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son and is marked with communal prayer, the distribution of meat to those in need and festive gatherings. It falls on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, shifting about 11 days earlier each year. Countdown to the expected date of the next Eid al-Adha.
