Eid al-Adha is the holiest of the two Muslim holidays celebrated each year. It marks the yearly Muslim pilgrimage (Hajj) to visit Mecca, the most sacred place in Islam. Muslims slaughter a sacrificial animal and split the meat into three parts: one for the family, one for friends and relatives, and one for the poor and needy. (Photo by Qudratullah Razwan/EPA/EFE)
