The resolution said 19 December will be marked as Eid-al Adha.

Eid al-Adha is a religious festival celebrated by Muslims worldwide as a commemoration of Ibrahim’s (Abraham’s) willingness to sacrifice his son Ismael for Allah. It is one of two Eid festivals that Muslims celebrate. Like Eid ul-Fitr, Eid ul-Adha begins with a short prayer followed by a sermon (khuá¹­ba). It is also called the bigger Eid because it lasts a day longer than Eid ul-Fitr.
