       Eid-ul-Azha:
       also called Feast of the Sacrifice, the Major Festival,the
       Greater Eid, Kurban Bayram (Turkish: Kurban Bayramı;
       Serbo-Croat-Bosnian: kurban-bajram), Eid-e-Qurban (Persian:
       عید
       قربان‎), Eid-ul-Bakr, and
       Bakrid (Hindustani, Urdu: بقر
       عيد‎),
       is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims
       worldwide to honour the willingness of the prophet Ibrahim
       (Abraham) to sacrifice his young first-born son Ismail
       (Ishmael)a as an act of submission to God's command and his
       son's acceptance to being sacrificed, before God intervened to
       provide Abraham with a Lamb to sacrifice instead.
       In the lunar Islamic calendar, Eid al-Adha falls on the 10th
       day of Dhu al-Hijjah and lasts for four days.
       In the international Gregorian calendar, the dates vary from
       year to year, drifting approximately 11 days earlier each year.
       Eid al-Adha is the latter of the two Eid holidays, the former
       being Eid al-Fitr. The basis for the Eid al-Adha comes from the
       196th verse of the 2nd sura of the Quran.
       The word "Eid" appears once in the 5th sura of the Quran, with
       the meaning "solemn festival".
       Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a Sunnah prayer of two
       rakats followed by a sermon (khuṭbah). Eid al-Adha
       celebrations start after the descent of the Hajj from Mount
       Arafat, a hill east of Mecca. Ritual observance of the holiday
       lasts until sunset of the 12th day of Dhu al-Hijjah.
       Eid sacrifice may take place until sunset on the 13th day of
       Dhu al-Hijjah.
       The days of Eid have been singled out in the Hadith as "days of
       remembrance". The days of Tashriq are from the Fajr prayer of
       the 9th of Dhul Hijjah up to the Asr prayer of the 13th of Dhul
       Hijjah (5 days and 4 nights).
       This equals 23 prayers: 5 on the 9th-12th, which equal 20, and 3
       on the 13th.
       Muslims  sacrifice on name of God on that day and which is Halal
       animals like lamb,goats,camels,cows,buffaloes.
       A Muslim who sacrifices an animal then from meat 7 equal  parts
       are made and from which 3 parts are given to Poor and needy and
       4 parts are kept from which a specified part is also kept for
       relatives!
       This is to remember greatness of Hazrat Ibrahim {R.A} and his
       love for his Allah that he got ready to sacrifice his heir
       Ismaeil {R.A} which he got after marrying Hazrat Hajra {R.A} as
       his first wife was barren!
       Hazrat Ibrahim {R.A} sacrificed a lot in the way of Allah and
       Holy Quran clearly mentions all sacrifices of Hazrat Ibrahim
       {R.A}.
