How is Eid al-Adha celebrated?
Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhu-al-Hijjah – which is the twelfth and final month of the lunar Islamic calendar. The exact date depends on the sighting of the moon.
On the morning of Eid, Muslims gather to perform Eid prayers in congregation.
People traditionally wear new clothes and visit family and friends.
They greet one another with “Eid Mubarak” or “Happy/blessed Eid” and often embrace and exchange gifts.
