Suburban Muslims celebrate Eid Fest in Naperville ICNMasjid
The daylong event included games, food and ethnic clothing vendors, and children's activities such as a train ride, obstacle course, inflatable slides, a bouncy house, face painting, balloons and henna.
The festival is in recognition of Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of Sacrifice, one of two big celebrations in the Islamic tradition, which was observed June 28. Eid al-Adha commemorates the Quranic story of prophet Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail on God's command. Ismail is later spared by God, and an animal is slaughtered in his stead. Observant Muslims worldwide also will mark the occasion by slaughtering animals, symbolically following prophet Abraham's practice, coinciding with the culmination of the Hajj pilgrimage in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.
Another Eid Fest is being organized by Masjid Al-Jumu'ah in Bolingbrook from 2 to 10 p.m. July 15 at the mosque, 351 Veterans Parkway. Attractions include carnival rides, a petting zoo, a train ride, a fire truck, face painting, ethnic street food and carnival fare, henna and a bazaar.
