Eid ul Adha, also called the “Pageant of Sacrifice,” is a big spiritual vacation celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It marks the tip of the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and commemorates the willingness of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ismail (Ishmael) as an act of obedience to God.
The precise date of Eid ul Adha varies annually, as it’s decided by the Islamic lunar calendar. In 2025, Eid ul Adha is anticipated to start on Wednesday, June 18th, and finish on Thursday, June nineteenth. The vacation is usually celebrated over three days, with the primary day of festivities falling on the second day.
