Eid al Adha is also written as Eid ul Adha, and sometimes referred to as Qurbani Eid, Bakra Eid and Greater Eid.
It occurs during the final month of the Islamic calendar, called Dhul Hijah.
It is celebrated around two months after Eid al Fitr.
Eid al Adha is a three-day festival which takes place at the end of Hajj, the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam.
Eid al Adha is seen as the holier of the two Eids, due to its connection to Hajj.
