Why Are Bakra Eid Dates Different?

Bakra Eid follows the Islamic lunar count. The festival really kicks in after the Dhul Hijjah moon is spotted, so the calendar date can shift by about one day from country to country.

What Is Arafat Day?

Arafat Day is celebrated one day before Bakra Eid, and people say it is kinda one of the most holy days in Islam. Pilgrims who are doing Hajj, gather at Mount Arafat in Saudi Arabia that day, and it feels really spiritually important.
