What's Going on. . .

Today marks the day that Muslims all over the world celebrate the end of the yearly hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca. The prayers and the holiday which follows, Eid al-Adha ("festival of the sacrifice"), commemorates the Prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Isma'il at God's command. During this holiday, Muslims exchange the greeting of "Eid Mubarak," or "Blessed Eid."
