‘Everyone is welcome’: Filipino Muslims mark Eid with prayer, tradition and community feasts

MANILA: As they observed Eid Al-Adha, Muslim Filipinos reconnected with their families and relatives, as well as with memories and special traditions unique to the minority community they form in the predominantly Catholic country. Like Muslims around the world, those in the Philippines also begin the day before sunrise, with families waking up early for the morning prayers and to observe the holiday, which emphasizes sacrifice, gratitude, charity and compassion. After prayers, families offer goats or cows and distribute the meat to the community.
