Another Philippine holiday - Proclamation No. 1808 declaring November 27 & 28, 2009 (Friday & Saturday) as a REGULAR HOLIDAY in observance of Eid’l Adha.
Ok, basing on the scanned copy attached to the email, Eid'l Adha is one of the two greatest feasts in Islam... and all that blah-blah about how great feasts of the Christian Church (e.g. Christmas etc.) are holidays...so this is a holiday too...
and...signed pala to ni GMA last April 12, 2009..
eh, at least we know it at this point..if di sya bawiin..*Cross fingers*
eto Kat...google ko na rin, kc yung end of Ramadan lang alam ko...hehehe...
Eid al-Adha (Arabic: عيد الأضحى ‘Īdu l-’Aḍḥā) "Festival of Sacrifice" or "Greater Eid" is a Muslim Holiday celebrated by Muslims (including the Druze) worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son Ismael as an act of obedience to God.
Eid al-Adha is the latter of two Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims, whose basis comes from the Quran. (Muslims who belong to the Shi'ite branch of Islam celebrate a third Eid.) Like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon (khuṭba).
Eid al-Adha annually falls on the 10th day of the month of Dhul Hijja (ذو الحجة) of the lunar Islamic calendar. The festivities last for three days or more depending on the country. Eid al-Adha occurs the day after the pilgrims conducting Hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca in Saudi Arabia by Muslims worldwide, descend from Mount Arafat. It happens to be approximately 70 days after the end of the month of Ramadan.
nung nag aaral pa ako, tuwang tuwa ako sa ganyang balita pero ngaun may pinaaaral na ako eh bwiset na bwiset na ako. daming bakasyon. lugi talaga parents.
yeah, when one grows up, iba na point of view *grin*
same here, I was always so cheery when I hear of holidays...when I was a student, when I was working, even when I was having my own business (because programmers naman kc eh, not manufacturing or the other kinds of business which is adversely affected by something like this)
