The Eid al-Adha celebrations begin this evening, August 21st, and will continue until Saturday following the Islamic Lunar calendar.
Celebrations will begin with morning prayers, before sharing food and exchanging gifts with friends and family.
Marking the end of Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to the Kaaba in Mecca, Eid al-Adha is recognised as the holier of the two Eids.
It also marks the story of Ibrahim's sacrifice of his son to Allah to be obedient to God, before Allah replaces the child with a sheep to be sacrificed.
