The Minister of interior, Ambrose Dery, has declared that Friday, September, 1 2017, which marks the Eid al-Adha festival, is a statutory public holiday.
The celebration marks a reminder of the time in which Ibrahim (Abraham) was about to sacrifice his son but was told by God to sacrifice an animal instead.
The celebration symbolizes Ibrahim’s devotion to Allah.
Barka de Sallah to our Muslims readers in advance.
