Bishkek, June 6, 2022 . /Kabar/. Kurman Ait will be celebrated preliminary on July 9 or 10 in Kyrgyzstan, the Spiritual Administration of Muslims of Kyrgyzstan said.

According to the information, the exact date will be known closer to the date.

The holiday is a non-working day in the country.

Kurman Ait, or Eid al-Adha is the latter of the two official Islamic holidays celebrated within Islam (the other being Eid al-Fitr).

In the Islamic lunar 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, shifting approximately 11 days earlier each year.

The tradition for Eid al-Adha involves slaughtering an animal and sharing the meat in three equal parts – for family, for relatives and friends, and for poor people. The goal is to make sure every Muslim gets to eat meat. The celebration has a clear message of devotion, kindness and equality.
