Kurban-ait is considered a state holiday according to the Holidays Law of Kazakhstan. Kurban-ait itself is on Tuesday, October 15, this year. But weekends have been moved to make the holiday longer. “To create good conditions for rest and rational use of work time in October 2013, Kazakhstan Prime-Minister Serik Akhmetov signed a governmental decree moving the day off from September October 12 (Saturday) to October 14 (Monday), 2013,” the message states. This means that Kazakhstan residents will work on Saturday, October 12, instead of Money, October 14, to get a block of days off from October 13 to October 15 - on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. This however works only for those how have a 5-day working week. Those who have a 6-day working week will work on Saturday as usually, have their usual weekend on Sunday, then work on Monday and rest for Kurban-ait on Tuesday, October 15. On Kurban-ait a special prayer is traditionally made in mosques. People read Koran and offer sacrifices on this day. According to Astana’s official website, special platforms for cattle slaughtering have been set through out the city for the celebration. “Altyn Taga (near Kosshy village) was designated the main place for the rituals (sacrifice),” the website writes.
