Eidul Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, is one of two important Islamic holidays that coincide with the closing rites of the annual Hajj journey.
Muslims join a special Eid gathering, which is followed by the sacrifice of an animal, often a sheep, goat, or cow. The sacrificed animal’s meat is divided between the family and the needy.
Families also gather to share celebratory meals, exchange greetings and gifts, and take part in several cultural events.
