Adha, a period of "communal enjoyment" for Muslims worldwide, is officially underway. Over two billion Muslims are currently, or preparing, to celebrate the "Feast of Sacrifice," a major Islamic holiday that commemorates a profound act of faith.

Less spending, higher prices and fewer animal sacrifices subdued the usual festive mood as the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha was celebrated in many parts of the world.
