The Board of Directors of Pakistani Canadian Cultural Association of BC (PCCA-BC) have organized the Eid dinner with the members of Pakistani Canadian Community living in B.C. We are anticipating large Pakistani Canadian crowd and it would be a great opportunity for introduction. We also are inviting Syrian Refugees to have a feast with us and celebrate the Eid with us. Please Sponsor one table to help us serve less fortunate this year we will appreciate your contribution.
The Pakistani Canadian community, residing in lower mainland, celebrates the Eid al-Adha ‘Feast of the Sacrifice’ also called the “Sacrifice Feast”, which is the second of two Muslim holidays celebrated worldwide each year, and considered the holier of the two. It honors the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son, as an act of obedience to God’s command. Before Abraham sacrificed his son, God provided a male goat to sacrifice instead. In commemoration of this, an animal is sacrificed and divided into three parts: one third of the share is given to the poor and needy; another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors; and the remaining third is retained by the family.
