“Eid al-Adha is an Islamic festival to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim (also known as Abraham) to follow Allah's (God's) command to sacrifice his son Ishmael. Muslims around the world observe this event.” During this celebration, Snapchat released a unique filter for the day. Technology is one of the biggest changes in modern society. With such a large percent of the world using technology, it is interesting that a traditional holiday can be represented through a modern app and available for people of all religions to use. It also brings awareness to religions and holidays that are happening, widening the scope and education of modern religion.
