Muslims celebrate at Civic Centre
Hundreds of Ottawa Muslims converged on the Civic Centre Friday for Eid-ul-Adah, one of the most important dates in the Muslim calendar. It's known as the "Festival of Sacrifice" and commemorates the Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son to God. "Today, we're celebrating Eid-ul-Adah and it coincides with the pilgrimage to Mecca, which is going on right now," "This is Eid, and it's one of the most important days for us because we're Muslim," said Eman Frahat. The event was co-organized by the Muslim Association of Canada and the Ottawa Muslim Association.
