Eid Adh is called as sacrificial day. It is one of the holy big celebrations for moslems all over the world. It is called as sacrificial day because moslems sacrifice animals, such as camels, cows, sheeps, and goats in this day. Especially in Indonesia, they usually sacrifice cows, goats, and sheeps because there aren't camels in this country. Originally, The Sacrifice was done by Abraham. He sacrificed his son, Ismail, to show his obedience to Almighty Allah swt. But finally, Allah swt replaced Ismail with a sheep. And after that moment, Allah swt commanded moslems to sacrifice animals. Celebrated on Dzulhijah 10th, it is time for moslems all over the world to show their gratitude, obedience, and dedication to Almighty Allah swt.
Eid Adh is started by praying together in the mosques or fields in the morning. After that, people will come together in the yard of mosques or in the fields to watch the sacrifice. Then, the meats will be given to the moslems in that area.
We also call Eid Adh as "Lebaran Haji", because on Dzulhijah 10th, people who make the pilgrimage to Mecca will complete all of the religious service parts there. When i was child, i was always excited if The Eid Adh came. Because it means that my neighbor who went to Mecca would come home immediately. They would bring some merchandises for their neighbor, such as Zamzam water and henna. And they would give henna to the girls, included me. My friends and i were very happy if we got henna from Mecca. Then, we would use it in our nails.
