Eid al-Adha

The sacrifice of a sheep or cow, with the meat divided into three parts: family, friends, and the poor. In Iraq, the animal is purchased at a livestock market a week before Eid, and the children often name it, which makes the sacrifice harder and the lesson clearer. The butcher comes to the house, the sacrifice is performed, and the distribution begins. . 2026: Jun 7. 2027: May 27.
