Eid al-Adha is celebrated in the republics of the North Caucasus Federal District

This year, Eid al-Adha is celebrated from May 27th. From this date until May 29th, holidays have been declared in Dagestan, Chechnya, and Ingushetia. One day off, May 27th, has been designated in Kabardino-Balkaria and Karachay-Cherkessia.

Eid al-Adha is one of the two key holidays in Islam, celebrated seventy days after Eid al-Fitr. This day symbolizes the completion of the Hajj, the pilgrimage to Mecca, one of the pillars of faith for Muslims.

The main purpose of the celebration is to remind all followers of Islam of man's devotion to God and His mercy. The holiday is associated with the legend of the Prophet Ibrahim. According to the Quran, he had a dream in which God commanded him to sacrifice his son as proof of his faith and devotion. Ibrahim was ready to carry out the order, but at the last moment the sacrifice was replaced with a lamb. In memory of this, Muslims perform a sacrifice, and part of the meat is traditionally distributed to the needy and to loved ones.
