About Eid al-Adha
Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, commemorates Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God. It comes at the end of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca and is the more important of the two Eids.
It is celebrated on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah and lasts three or four days. The date depends on the moon sighting, so the expected date may differ by a day in your country.
In 2026 it falls on a Wednesday. This countdown runs to the first moment of May 27 in the time zone you choose, so the figure matches the calendar day on your wall.
