I found it interesting today to learn more about this Eid that will be celebrated the first week for February.
I believe there are three eids throughout the year. Eid means recurring happiness or festivity. This one is called Celebration of Sacrifice. It takes place during the last month of the Islamic calendar. It's a feast of commitment, obedience and self-sacrifice to Allah. The Muslims offer sacrifices for their sins. It might be a lamb, goat, even a camel, I'm told. They kill the animal facing Mecca, drain its blood and gut it. The first meal of the Eid serves meat from this sacrificed animal. Meat is also given to the poor as a sign of their piety. They also sacrifice for the dead. The Eid is called Celebration of Sacrifice to remember Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Ishmael ( not Isaac as our Bible says).
We had some very good news at church last week. The government has granted permission to a local bookstore to sell Bibles and a select number of Christian books. These books are subject to approval by the censorship dept. The bookstore will have to pick up their order at the airport.
This is such an answer to prayer. Pray that believers will find favor with the government so that more doors will open.
