The country goes "sheep crazy" for EID-UL-ADHA : THE FESTIVAL OF SACRIFICE, which was celebrated on Tuesday, 9 Dec 08 in Morocco; see links below.

Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice in Islam

Eid-ul-Adha: The Festival of Sacrifice

Ciao Gorgeous ! You're So Sweet :): Eid Adha Mubarak Saeed.. :)


This is one of the biggest Muslim holidays of the year. I'd compare it to our Thanksgiving. Everyone in Morocco wants a sheep to scarifice. There were sheep everywhere. The sold them out of trucks, on street corners, and in tents in parking lots, etc. People transported them in their car/van/truck, on motorcycles, on bikes, tied to donkeys/camels, on their shoulder, and even on public busses. They were pulling them around on a rope (that was tied to the ram's horns). By far most of the sacrificed sheep were males. The King kicks of the celebration by sacficing his sheep and everyone in Morocco "follows suit". Basically they slaughter the sheep, eat 2/3 of it and give 1/3 to poor people who can't afford a sheep. I was told a sheep costs between $200 and $400 depending on the size of the sheep, which is pretty high for most of the people in Morocco. Everyone is looking for a good deal and asking anyone else with a sheep what they paid for their sheep. :biggrin:
