Eid-ul Adha is celebrated by Muslim all over the world together with those who went to Saudi Arabia for the hajj.
It is a day that Muslims slaughter Sheep, cows and donkeys base on the financial strength of the individual or the family.
They normally start the celebration with a day fasting on the eve of the pray day. On the day of the Eid-ul Adha they will all converge at the stadiums, some at parks while some will pray in their various Mosques.
