Muslims celebrate Kurban Bayrami, an event also known as Eid al-Adha, with festive prayers all over Georgia. It is the second of two religious holidays celebrated by Muslims worldwide each year.

“Kurban Bayrami is a national and social event in the Muslim world. This is a way to the God, compassion to people,” said Mufti of Eastern Georgia Etibar Eminov.

Kurban Bayrami, also called the Feast of the Sacrifice, honoured the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his promised son. The holiday is celebrated 70 days after Ramazan Bayram, a month of fasting, and lasts for three days.

Muslims visit relatives and help neighbours and socially vulnerable families during these days.
