The Eid Al Adha 2026 Celebration Has An Unexpected Lunar Start

Simply, eid al-adha is considered the holier of the two religious holidays and so it is referred to as 'big eid' while eid al fitr can be known as 'lesser eid'. Eid is a day of goodwill and respect, so wishing someone eid mubarak or happy eid will most likely at least earn you a smile, if not an invitation to a lavish eid feast. On the day of eid, muslims follow their ancient cultural traditions where they visit mosques for a special morning prayer.
