Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى‎ ‘Īdu l-’Aḍḥ&#257 “Festival of Sacrifice” or “Greater Eid” is a holiday celebrated by Muslims (including the Druze) worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God.

Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from the Quran.[1] Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon (khuṭba).

Eid al-Adha annually falls on the 10th day of the month of Dhul Hijja (ذو الحج&#1577 of the lunar Islamic calendar. The festivities last for three days or more depending on the country. Eid al-Adha occurs the day after the pilgrims conducting Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia by Muslims worldwide, descend from Mount Arafat. It happens to be approximately 70 days after the end of the month of Ramadan.

"God said to Abraham, 'kill me a son'. Abe said, 'God, you must be putting me on'. God said 'no'. Abe said 'Whoa!' God said, 'You can do what you want, but next time you see me coming, you better run.' Abe said, 'Where do you want this killing done?' God said, 'Out on Highway 61." B. Dylan

Happy holidays to all!
