1 . Changing every year because Muslims follow a lunar calendar rather than the western calendar, Eid al-Adha is being celebrated on the December 9th this year; the festival celebrates the end of the hajj and the sacrifice made by the prophet Abraham.
2. On December 9th, Eid-al-Adha, Muslims celebrate the end of the Hajjand the sacrifices made by the prophet Abraham; the date changes every year because Muslims follow a lunar calendar rather than the western calendar.
3. Muslims, who celebrate the end of the Hajj and sacrifices made by the prophet Abraham, will partake in activites on Eid-al-Adha; this year it is celebrated on December 9th, but the date changes every year because Muslims follow a lunar calendar rather than the western calendar.
