Today we attended the EID Sacrifice at the compound of one of our Turkish contractors. When we got there they gave us candy to sweeten our breath and gave us an oil cologne to fragrance our body. In the above picture was the handlers bringing the sheep over to the sacrifice area. They decorated them with ribbons. They took the sheep to a corner and put the ram on the ground near a shallow pit.
They chanted over the Ram and then the Iman (?) sacrificed the ram. Once it bled out they moved the sheep in behind it and sacrificed it as well. After that it was Happy EID to everyone.
Tomorrow we are invited to the cook-out where we will eat the sheep. Not to bad of a deal if you ask me.
They look a little too good at "handling" those sheep. ;)
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize how it looked until I got the pics off the camera.
