Marking the end of the Muslim pilgrimage to Mecca, Eid al-Adha or the 'Feast of Sacrifice' is one of the most important feasts in the Islamic calendar. 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.
