Eid Mubarak 2014!




Eid Mubarak 2014!
School-Only Event Assembly


Newton Prep celebrated its culture as a little world community yesterday, when both Lower School and Upper School carried on the weekend's Eid celebrations with a special Eid assembly. For the Lower School, Zeyna's mum introduced the main concepts of Eid as the Festival of Sacrifice: the Hajj, the building of Kaaba in Mecca and the concept of sacrifice as the deepest demonstration of love, both from Abraham to Allah and in Allah sparing his son Isaac's life.Some of the children pointed out the similarities between Eid and the Hindu festival Diwali, both times of celebration, colour, feasting, dressing-up.

 

  

Some of the children were wearing their special Eid costumes and were allowed to stay in them all day... slightly more colourful than the Newton Prep uniform!

 Eid Mubarak!*

*Happy festival!"
