Eid Mubarak to all Muslims.

Our Dubai office get a day off work for that.

3 days, actually.

Kids are off for a week, but hubby still goes to work doing bugger all!

Happy Eid to all Moslems

Shows what I know. When I saw the title I thought Eid Mubarik was someone's name.

And I still don't know what it is - but good luck to 'em anyway!

Hosni Mubarak?

Right, you lot; stand by to be educated.

Eid Mubarak means "Happy Festival" and it is the greeting used by Moslems in SE Asia and in the Philippines by those Christians like my own mahal who are friendly with Moslems.

So, what's the festival? It's the Eid al Adha, the Festival of the Sacrifice, and if you know your Bible at all it will be perfectly familiar to you.

What is being celebrated is the moment when God/Yahweh/Adonai/Allah told Abraham not to sacrifice is only son Isaac but to sacrifice the ram with his horns caught in a thicket instead.

Here endeth the lesson.
