It's a public holiday here in Singapore today. And just like many such holidays at home, the weather is cat here! It's also my mother's birthday, so happy birthday, Mum! The two events are not related!
It's a public holiday because it's a major Muslim holy day, not because it's a Catholic holy day. It goes under many names around the world, but here it's called "Hari Raya Haji" (Celebration Day of the Hajj). Apparently, it commemorates the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience to God.
So now you know! Educational and informative, this blog will make you smarter!
