Eid al-Adha 2025, also called the “Feast of Sacrifice,” is a major spiritual vacation celebrated by Muslims worldwide. It marks the tip of the annual Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and is a time for Muslims to commemorate the Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail, as an act of obedience to God.
The date of Eid al-Adha is set by the Islamic lunar calendar and varies annually. In 2025, Eid al-Adha is anticipated to start on Tuesday, June seventeenth, and finish on Wednesday, June 18th. Throughout this time, Muslims sometimes attend particular prayers, slaughter animals for sacrifice, and distribute the meat to the poor and needy.
