Bakrid 2020: 5 Best Sugar-Free Desserts You Can Prepare This Eid Al-Adha

One of the holiest days in the Muslim calendar - Eid al-Adha is here which will be celebrated on 1st August, 2020 in India and on 31st July, 2020 all over the world. Eid al-Adha, also known as Bakrid, is traditionally known as the festival of sacrifice or literally translates to 'Feast of the Sacrifice' and is one of the two most sacred festivals with the other being Eid ul-Fitr. Bakrid festival is celebrated to honour the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his own son in devotion to God upon which God placed a lamb's head in place of his son's head, thereby, sparing the child's life. This divine intervention by God is commemorated by many Muslim families by sacrificing a male goat on the day. It is then then divided into three parts, one is gifted to friends and relatives, other is given to the poor and needy and the third part is feasted upon by the family.
