August's Holiday Spotlight: Eid Al-Adha In-Person
August's Holiday Spotlight shines on Eid al-Adha, or the Days of sacrifice. It is a Muslim holiday celebrated for four days during the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah. It celebrates the willingness of the Prophet Abraham (called Ibrahim by Muslims) to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. Stop by the display near the Reference Desk to learn more about the holiday and check out some materials related to it.
