"Feast of Sacrifice" was an interesting descriptor to someone who had no idea what was coming next. At first I thought it was a pagan holiday.

Out of curiosity, what’s the sacrifice?

Had to Wikipedia it: "In Islamic tradition, the udhiyah honours the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ishmael as an act of obedience to God."

It's a lamb, after the story of Abraham's sacrifice of his son being replaced by a lamb.
