"Eid Al Adha marks a special day in the Muslim calendar as it marks the culmination of the annual pilgrimage to mecca and commemorating the sacrifice of Abraham,” Kananu added.

"This is in line with this sacrifice that today the Eid traditions and Hajj rituals of providing for those less fortunate in commemoration of Abraham and his son’s devotion to God carry a special meaning this year as we continue to battle with the Covid-19 pandemic challenges,”
