Tuesday, 21 August marks Eid al-Adha, an Islamic holiday also known as the “Festival of Sacrifice.”

The holiday is the first of four days where Muslims sacrifice meaningful things to Allah, typically sheep, cows, chickens and goats, which they slaughter, cook and share with family, friends and the poor.

Eid al-Adha also marks the end of Dhu al-Hijjah, the 10-day pilgrimage Muslims take to Mecca. Hajj is a pilgrimage all Muslims must take at least once in their lives.
