are following the moon calendar, the month could be 29 or 30 days only according to that. If you noticed Ramadan is coming every year 8 - 13 days earlier than the previous year.

Islamic Calender is on the Moon movement, i.e it is lunar month which mean it is shorter by 10 days each year than the Gregorian Calender which is based on the Solar movement.
The reason is it is what is known as a movable feast, much like the christian Easter. The way it is decided is they first interpret the moon cycle for Ramadan when the moon is in the right phase at a particular point and coincides with a particular date of the year Ramadan is called. The reason for the 30 days is it takes that long for the moon to complete one full cycle and Ramadan ends when this cycle is complete and you have Eid Al Fitr...the working out out Eid Al Hadr is calculated, as I was informed to be 60 days + 10 from the end of Eid Al Fitr. Given the Islamic calendar does not coincide with the Gregorian calendar as it is shorter, the timings for these will always differ from year to year.

based on the web site,
Eid al-Adha in 2008 is on Monday, the 8th of December.
but since the next day begins on the sunset of the previous day, so Eid al-Adha is on the sunset of Sunday, the 7th of December.

it starts on either the 7th or 8th but i believe it's te 7th cause ramadan's eid came 1 day earlier than expected. hope this helps.
It starts 90 days from the Eid. do your own calculation.

because Islamic calendar is a little bit short... so every year there is a difference of date for Islamic occasion..
and i think EID will be on 8th Dec
it may probably be on 8th of December.

Platao, Eid changes every year the same as Ramadan as it is per the Islamic calendar and not Gregorian.
