The Ethnic Relations Commission (ERC) extends warmest Eid–ul–Adha greetings to Muslims and all other Guyanese on this annual observance.
This national holiday, which translates to the ‘festival of sacrifice’ in Islam, is important for all humanity – obedience to God and the priceless value of sacrifice.
The ERC urges all to heed the universal message of Eid–ul–Adha for a better Guyana. Render support, and inculcate the lessons of sacrifice for peace and brotherhood.
Sharing, during this holiday, to the less fortunate, neighbours and friends is characteristic of Eid-ul-Adha and reflective of the brotherhood that exists 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 as Guyanese.![](https://guyanatimesgy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/06/ERC-300x197.jpg)
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.
Eid-ul-Adha represents another veritable example of the peaceful co-existence and religious freedom all Guyanese enjoy. The ERC wishes that Guyanese of all ethnicities learn the important messages and principles from today’s observance, and its recurring theme.
Eid Mubarak from the Ethnic Relations Commission!
