Nationwide,

Marking the end of Hajj, the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, Idul Adha (or "Eid al-Adha" or the "Feast of Sacrifice") is one of the most important events in the Islamic calendar and is celebrated by Muslims all over the world. The three-day festival commemorates Ibrahim's (Abraham) willingness to obey God by sacrificing his son - although he was later allowed to sacrifice a ram in his son's place. In remembrance of this, a cow or ram is usually sacrificed as part of the religious celebrations with a portion of the meat being donated to the poor, sick or needy. Prayer meetings and ceremonies take place in mosques throughout Indonesia
