Valérie Plante: “Eid al-Adha Mubarak to the Muslim community in Montreal”

Today is Eid al-Adha, the Festival of the Sacrifice (honouring the willingness of Ibraham to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God’s command), which comes on the last day of the Hajj pilgrimage. This afternoon, Mayor Valérie Plante wished the Muslim community in Montreal “Eid al-Adha Mubarak,” and a healthy year ahead.

Eid al-Adha is being celebrated this year from the evening of July 19 until Friday, July 23.

“Eid al-Adha Mubarak! Happy holidays to the entire Muslim community in Montreal. I wish you an excellent celebration in the company of your loved ones, but also a coming year filled with good health, prosperity and precious family moments.”

#AidAlAdha moubarak! Bonne fête à toute la communauté musulmane de Montréal. Je vous souhaite une excellente célébration en compagnie de vos proches, mais aussi une prochaine année comblée de bonne santé, de prospérité, et de moments précieux en famille #polmtl
