The Sacrifice Feast, known as Kurban Bayramı in Turkey, is one of the most significant Islamic holidays observed nationwide. It commemorates the willingness of Ibrahim to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God, marked by communal prayers and charitable acts. In Turkey, this is a multi-day public holiday where government offices, schools, and financial markets are closed. It significantly impacts domestic travel and consumer spending patterns during the festive period.
The date is determined by the Islamic lunar calendar, falling on the 10th day of Dhu al-Hijjah. Because the lunar year is shorter than the solar year, the date shifts approximately 11 days earlier each year in the Gregorian calendar.
