Our status as ‘One People’ is given deeper meaning during EID–UL–ADHA

Jul 09, 2022 News

Kaieteur News – The Ethnic Relations Commission, (ERC), extends warmest EID – UL – ADHA greetings to Muslims and all Guyanese on this annual observance.

The national holiday which translates as the ‘festival of sacrifice’ is a symbolic Islamic principle for all humanity; obedience to God and the message associated with sacrifice. The ERC urges all to heed the universal message of EID – UL – ADHA for a better Guyana – render support to each other, especially in situations of need.

Sharing during this holiday to the less fortunate, neighbours and friends, is commendable and in recognition of the brotherhood existing among Guyanese. The observance remains a beacon of inspiration, guidance and motivation for all of us to build and promote national harmony. The lessons of sacrifice and humility must inspire us all as Guyanese.

Moreover, the Commission supports the thrust of this countrywide observance which strengthens ties with other ethnic groups in our multi-cultural society. The ERC is positive that our status as ‘One People’ is given deeper meaning during EID – UL – ADHA celebrations every year. The national holiday represents another veritable example of the peaceful co-existence all Guyanese enjoy and the religious freedoms that are allowed. The ERC reiterates on this holiday that Guyanese of all ethnicities can draw important messages and principles from each other’s observances on the cultural calendar.

Eid Mubarak from the Ethnic Relations Commission!
