Eid al-Adha is the second most important celebration of Islam, (the first being Eid-ul-Fitr). It takes place on the tenth day of the twelfth and last month (Zulharjj) of the Islamic calendar. In 2004, this celebration began on the morning of the 1st of February. Eid-ul-Adha celebrates the occasion when Abraham was willing to sacrifice his son to show his obedience to Allah (God). Muslims all around the world celebrate this day, although it has particular significance for pilgrims who complete a pilgrimage (Hajj) to Mecca.
