Today, Muslim believers celebrate Eid al-Adha. Thousands of believers gathered this morning on the 'Dëshmorët e Kombit' boulevard for the prayer of Kurban Bayram. 

Prayers were also performed in dozens of other mosques in the country. 

The head of the Muslim Community of Albania, Bujar Spahiu, while congratulating the believers, emphasized that he hoped that this day would serve as a day of reflection for more love for each other.

Eid al-Adha is one of two Islamic holidays celebrated by Muslims around the world, the other being Eid al-Fitr. The holiday, according to Islamic tradition, honors Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of submission to God's command, before God intervened, through his angel Gabriel, to inform Ibrahim that his sacrifice had already been accepted.

The meat from the sacrificed animal is divided into three parts, the family keeps one part, the rest is given to relatives, friends and neighbors; while the remainder is distributed to the poor and needy.

Otherwise, it is also known as Eid al-Adha, because within the days of this Eid, the ritual pilgrimage to Mecca is also performed.

In the Hijri calendar, Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhul-Hijjah and lasts for four days. In the Gregorian calendar, the date varies from year to year, moving approximately 11 days earlier each year./ CNA
