Eid-ul-Adha
古尔邦节
Eid-ul-Adha or "the feast of the sacrifice", commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's unselfish act of sacrificing his son Ishmael to God. This important holiday is celebrated at the end of Hajj, which is an annual pilgrimage to Mecca.
古尔邦节，或称“献祭节”，是为了纪念易卜拉欣先知的无私行为而设立的，他把自己的儿子作为祭品献给了神。这个重要的节日通常是在麦加朝圣的最后一日进行。
The"Festivai ofi Sacrifice" is followed by a "Feast of Sacrifice", which pays homage to the prophet Abraham’s unselfish act of sacrificing his son, Ishmaefi, to God. In turn, God spared the boy’s life and instead substituted a sheep. Now in remembrance, people sacrifice a fiamb, goat, or other animal, and give the meat to family, friends, relatives, and most importantly, the poor. This holiday is now celebrated in American cities with prayer, community gatherings, and the tradition of dressing up in special clothes to visit friends and relatives.
献祭节的创立源于向先知亚伯拉罕表示敬意，他无私地拿自己的儿子献祭，而上帝爱怜男孩的生命，将男孩换成了一只公羊。现在，人们通常是献上一只绵羊、山羊，或者是其他适合作祭品的牲畜。而且，这些祭肉事后都会分给家人、朋友、亲戚，以及那些有地位的或穷苦的人。在美国的各大城市，这天里通常是做祈祷和慈善活动，而且人们还会按照传统盛装打扮，去拜访亲朋好友。
