Eid al-Adha or "Festival of Sacrifice" is an important religious holiday celebrated here to commemorate the willingness of Abraham (Ibrahim) to sacrifice his son. As an act of obedience to God, before God intervened to provide him with a ram to sacrifice instead. The meat is divided into three parts to be distributed to others. The family retains one third of the share another third is given to relatives friends and neighbors and the other third is given to the poor & needy.
We bought a lamb along with our friends and had the blessing of giving away the meat to some of our close friends in need. Dear husband and his friend were there and happy to be apart of it all. I thought it best that I stay home with the girls as my stomach does not take to this type of thing so well. If yours is like mine scan past my pictures. :)
