It is wonderful how Islamic and Christian holidays are close. Today is the first day of Adha. Next week is Christmas. It is great feeling to see fellow Christians celebrate with us. I'm waiting next Tuesday to send greetings to six of my coworkers for their Christmas. They are very close friends of mine.

Happy holidays CollarMe.... and everyone :)

PS. For those who maybe confuse. I live in Jordan. And yes, there are Christian Arabs. Though I'm not one (Arab).

Took me three times to pronounce it to my satisfaction (and likely horror of anyone who can say it properly), but there it was.

Whats it about, does anyone know? (yes I could Google, but....)

This four days holiday is part of the Hajj. Hajj in Islam: Is the fulfillment of Abraham's call for people to pilgrimage to Mecca. Many of its ceremonies are based on the life story of Ishmael and his parents. Muslims who aren't pilgrims celebrate Adha as well.

Hope this helps, happy holidays :)

This feast celebrates the sacrificing of his only son by Ibrahim (Abraham), Ismail (Isaac) as God called him to do. Ibrahim though not wanting to prepared an alter to sacrifice his son upon. At the moment when Ibrahim brought up the knife to slaughter his son, God replaced his son with a sheep Therefore, this is the time when the Islamic world slaughters a sheep and feasts. While it is connected to Haj, everyone celebrates. Even I, alone this year, will celebrate with a meal including lamb.

I could go on though I think that pretty much covers the groundwork for this Eid.

Well, sure Vendaval :)

In the morning of the first day Muslims go to the Eid prayer. Then they sacrifice a sheep. Some people be with the butcher and divide the meat into three parts. First for the family. Second shared with relatives, neighbors, and friends. Third shared with poor people. Other Muslims just pay a charity organization who gives away all the meat to poor people.

Before the Eid kids get anticipated for having new clothes and gifts. Well, their parents buy the clothes. There is no Santa Claus

Visiting family members, relatives and friends is the main event of the holiday; where people offer their gusts coffee and a date candy among other sweet things. In Jordan Muslims started decorating their homes with lightings in the shape of Crescent (moon) and a star.

Muslims are spread over the planet, and they include many cultures and ethnic groups. Therefore, you may witness some similarities and differences in their celebrations.

As far the pilgrims, their celebrations are included through their Hajj's ceremonies.

Happy holidays :)

Status: offline 		I have some more questions!

Would it be appropriate for me to offer the equivalent of "season's greetings" to Muslims I come into contact with?
If so, how?

Also, would it be appropriate for me to buy a gift for a Muslim friend? If so, what would be suitable?

And - cards; is there an equivalent to the Christmas card that I could send to a Muslim friend?

Thanks

E
