Baku/28.06.23/Turan: Muslims celebrate Gurban Bayram (feast of sacrificial animals) on June 28-29.
In Azerbaijan, these days are considered non-working. This year, the whole week (June 26 - July 2) is not working in Azerbaijan due to the celebration of the Day of the Armed Forces on June 26 and the reshuffle of working and non-working days in the calendar by the government.
Gurban Bayram traditionally coincides with the end of the annual Hajj pilgrimage to the holy places in Mecca.
On the day of the holiday, believers sacrifice sheep in memory of the Prophet Ibrahim, who was ready to sacrifice his son in the name of Allah. Touched by this, the Almighty did not allow it. As a result, a sheep was sacrificed.
It is customary to distribute the meat of sacrificial animals among the poor. -05D-
