Muslims across the world will celebrate Eid-ul-Adha, also known as Bakrid or the Festival of Sacrifice on June 28 or June 29, depending on the sighting of the moon. Several countries are observing the festival today. Eid-ul-Adha falls on the 10th day of Dhu'l-Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar. During this festival, devout Muslims offer a goat or sheep as a sacrificial animal. However, for the vow of seven Muslims, a single camel and a calf will suffice. Here's how Muslims across the world are celebrating the festival.(AFP)
