AMMAN — Shopping for new outfits has been a longstanding way of welcoming Eid Al Adha for most Jordanian families, however, some say the tradition has become “a burden on parents”. The holiday, which falls on the 10th day of the 12th month of the Hijri calendar, Dhul Hijja, is the feast marking the end of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, which Muslims of sufficient means are required to perform at least once in their lifetime.Eid Al Adha means “feast of sacrifice” and during the holiday Muslims slaughter livestock, cattle or camels and distribute the meat to the needy.
