Eid al-Adha, one of the biggest days in the Muslim calendar, has arrived. The "Festival of Sacrifice" will begin on Saturday, July 9, around two months after Eid al-Fitr.
This year's Eid al-Adha will be the first time that the second and "greater" of the two Eids has been celebrated without any legal Covid-19 restrictions since the pandemic began in 2020. Millions of people around the world will celebrate it, beginning on 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah, the 12th and final month in the Islamic calendar.
It also falls on the third day of Hajj, an annual five or six-day pilgrimage that millions of Muslims make in Saudi Arabia to Mecca and the sacred site of the Ka'bah. Thousands of British Muslims make the pilgrimage every year.
