Today is Eid al-Adha or the "Festival of Sacrifice" which is a holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac as an act of love for/obedience to God.
In Iran it is known as the Eid-e Ghorban and is celebrated with the sacrifice of an animal.
Those that can afford it, have open house and make a concerted effort to see that no poor person is left without food during the three days of the festival.
