MINNEAPOLIS – Minnesotans of all faiths are invited to join the Muslim Minnesotan community at U-S Bank Stadium in celebration of Eid al-Adha on Saturday.
Eid al-Adha is the Muslim holiday commemorating the faithfulness of Prophet Ibrahim, or Abraham as he’s called in in the Jewish and Christian faiths, who, as a test, was called by Allah, the Arabic word for God, to sacrifice his son.
More than 35 thousand people are expected to attend this year — making it the largest Eid celebration in the Western hemisphere.
The event is free and open to the public.
