Interior CS Kithure Kindiki has announced that Monday, June 17 will be a public holiday to celebrate Eid al-Adha.

Eid al-Adha commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s devotion to Allah and his willingness to sacrifice his son, Ismail. This Feast of Sacrifice is one of the two most important holidays in Islam.

The holiday holds particular significance as it marks the conclusion of the annual Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca, which takes place in the final month of the lunar Islamic calendar.
