Next Tuesday, Muslim Egyptians will celebrate the Feast of Sacrifice, which falls on the tenth day of the Muslim month of Dhul el-Hijja. Peter: Yaani eh kalimaat Eid? (What does the word Eid mean in Arabic). Suzane: Eid yaani ihtifal, aw saadah. (Eid is an Arabic word that means a festivity, a celebration, a recurring happiness, and a feast). Peter: Tayeb ezai el-Muslimeen b yahtfilu b Eid el-Adha? Suzane: Homa be yishtru hidoom gadidah, wei hadaiya, wei lahmaa dhani le nafssohum wei llil nas el-ghalaabah wei mihtageen. (They buy new clothes, gifts, and plenty of mutton meat for themselves, the poor and needy people). Suzanne: Youm el-Eid, el-giraan, elassdiqaa, wei el-qaraaeb be hayou baadeihm b eibaaret Eid Mubarak. (On the day of the feast, neighbours, friends and relatives start greeting each other. The most common greeting is "Eid Mubarak" (Have a blessed Eid). Peter: Tayeb, wei el-atfaal b yahtfilu b Eid el-Adha ezzai? (How do the children celebrate the Feast of Sacrifice?) Suzanne: El-atfaal b yakhdu hadaiyat w illey adaatant bitkoon hidoom gadidah ashaan yelbissoha khilal el-eid elli b yastamir le modiat arbaa ayaam. (Children were normally given gifts, which traditionally are new clothes to wear throughout the four-day eid.) Homa kamaan b yakhdu eidyah min araibhum ashaan yesrifuha khilal ayam el-eid. Children also receive a eidyah (a money gift) from their relative to spend on all their activities throughout the eid. Peter: Tayeb el-Masryeen b yaklou eih fi el-eid?

The families gatherings involve cooking and eating all kinds of Egyptian food but the item most associated with Eid el-Adha is the dish of Fattah, which consists of chunks of mutton, rice, bread crumpet soaked in soup, and a light sauce of garlic and vinegar.
