Revere Arabic Community hosts Eid al-Adha cultural festival

By Tara Vocino

The Revere Arabic Community hosted an Eid al-Adha Festival outside of the Garfield School on Saturday afternoon. Eid al-Adha is a historical memory of prophet Abraham being asked to give a huge sacrifice and he did it, according to the Quran. Today, Muslims slaughter an animal in remembrance and give its meat to the poor. It’s also a time when Muslims make a pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia.
