We have a big celebration coming up. It is called " Eid al-Adha" . It falls on the last month of the year of the Islamic calendar . Also, Eid is an important day for all Muslims because of Pilgrimage. Muslims celebrate Eid for three days. If a Muslim chose to go for if we go for Hajj or the pilgrimage, they have to spend a total of 10 days performing Hajj. Muslims spend even days four days before Eid and three days after that . During those days, Muslims visit Macce and visit many other religious places such as Mona, Arafat, and Muzdalifah to name a few .
On the other hand, if we don't go to the hajj, we celebrate Eid with our family. For Eid, everyone wears new clothes, everyone visits each other. In addition, rich Muslims slaughter (sheep ,camels, cows and goats) and prepare lunch or dinner for the whole family . The rest of the meat is distrusted to the less fortunate. Finally, Eid Al-Adha is a special occasion where we can pray, thank god, enjoy quality time with family and be good to our community and neighbors.
Those are huge crowds! I think I enjoy spending a quiet time with family. It sounds like a very important holiday though.
