Eid-e Ghorban (Feast of Sacrifice)
Eid-e-Ghorban, or the Feast of Sacrifice, is celebrated by Muslims worldwide as one of two Eid festivals. Commemorating the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God, it is observed on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar. This event is marked by the sacrifice of livestock, with the meat distributed among the poor, relatives, and for personal consumption.
