From Farhana
Eid-Ul- Adha is the celebration and culmination of the pilgrimage to Mecca. The pilgrimage or Hajj is a central duty of Islam and forms one of the five 'pillars' or central religious duties. The Hajj brings together Muslims of all races and speaking lots of different languages. The meaning of 'Eid-ul-Adha' is the Festival of Sacrifice. It is a commemoration of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham in the Bible)'s willingness to sacrifice his son for God. The story is that God replaces the son with an animal and to this day Muslims also sacrifice an animal and many distribute the meat to the poor and needy.
