Sacrifice Feast Eve is celebrated every year, usually about seventy days after Ramadan. This year the day will be marked on June 6. Residents of Muslim countries such as Turkey determine the date of the Sacrifice Feast Eve, which begins on the tenth of the twelfth month of the Islamic lunar calendar.
The Feast of Sacrifice commemorates the story of Ibrahim (Abraham), who sacrificed a ram after showing his willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. The tradition of preparing for the Sacrifice Feast Eve dates back to the Qur’an.
History of Sacrifice Feast Eve
Sacrifice Feast Eve is one of the oldest Islamic holidays celebrated in Turkey to commemorate the story of the Prophet Ibrahim. Allah once asked the Prophet Ibrahim to sacrifice the thing dearest to him, to prove his love and faith in God. Being devoted, the Prophet Ibrahim decided to sacrifice his only son, who was most precious to him.
But when the Prophet was about to offer a sacrifice, God replaced his son with a ram. The moral of the story: No one ever goes wrong obeying God.
Thus, once a year, about 70 days after the end of Ramadan, Muslims in Turkey celebrate the Muslim Feast of Sacrifice. The ram (or the sheep) and the Mosque are the most common symbols of the Sacrifice Feast Eve in Turkey. The eve of the festival is called ‘Arefe,’ which is an official holiday in Turkey.
Office buildings, schools, and post offices are usually closed, although shops and supermarkets remain open. Public transport schedules may vary. Traffic jams can occur because many people travel to other cities during the holiday. Some people buy new clothes and prepare food during the Sacrifice Feast Eve.
Others clean their homes and prepare for guests who may want to stay over during the four-day Sacrifice Feast, which follows the Sacrifice Feast Eve. The head of each household can choose a sacrificial animal (usually a goat, sheep, or cow) for the Feast of Sacrifice.
Eid al-Adha has special significance because it marks the culmination of ‘hajj’ or ‘pilgrimage,’ the fifth pillar of Islam. This annual trek to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, is only required of men and women who are physically and financially capable of performing it once in their lifetimes.
