How many days until Eid al-Adha?

The story behind Eid al-Adha

Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice, is the larger of Islam's two great feasts. It falls on the 10th of Dhu al-Hijjah, during the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca, and remembers the prophet Ibrahim's readiness to sacrifice his son at God's command, and the ram given in the son's place.

Families who can afford it sacrifice a sheep, goat or cow and divide the meat in three: for the household, for relatives and friends, and for those in need. Like every date on the Islamic lunar calendar, it moves about eleven days earlier each year, and the exact day depends on the moon.
