Eid Al Adha

The University of Dundee's Islamic Society is hosting a series of events today to mark the Muslim celebration Eid Al Adha, a four day festival culminating in the pilgrimage called Hajj to Mecca and Medina. Eid Al Adha is traditionally a family celebration and the students will be gathering together for a meal, refreshments, games and competitions to celebrate one of the largest world conferences on peace.
