Eid al-Adha is a Moslem feast to commorate Porphet Ibrahim total obedience to God to sacrifice his son Ishmael, not Isaac though, as commanded by Godm. At that critical moment a ram appeared behind the bushes and Ishmael was spared.
Eid al-Adha is also an occasion for distribution of food meat for the hungry poor Moslems.
From the theological point of view Moslems sacrifice a lamb in Contrast to Christianity where God did not spare his son Jesus from being sacrificed. According to the bible Jesus asking God why you have sacrificed me? Jesus is the lamb of God in contrast to Islam. So both religions have their own lamb! Further more Islam by celebrating Eid al Adha sends a message that rejects the idea that Jesus is the lamb of god, however in Islam it is not and Muslims sacrifice an actual lamb.
