feast of sacrifice

Feast of Sacrifice
    n 1: the 10th day of Dhu'l-Hijja; all Muslims attend a service
         in the mosques and those who are not pilgrims perform a
         ritual slaughter of a sheep (commemorating God's ransom of
         Abraham's son from sacrifice) and give at least a third of
         the meat to charity [syn: {Id al-Adha}, {Feast of
         Sacrifice}]
