Eid :) - Meat Mubarak!

Eid is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims around the world.
I think because our Prophet Abraham/Ibrahim dreamed that God was telling him to Sacrifice
his own son, to test his loyalty but then God provided him with a sheep to sacrifice instead.

It is celebrated 70 days (2months and 10days) after Ramadan, all the Muslims slaughter sheep, skin it, gut it, clean it, cook it and eat it, and
of course you can give away all the meat to the poor, or give away the money you were going to spend on the sheep to poor families.

I think this might be my last Eid with my family here in Libya, cause  hopefully, i'll be away in Uni. next year!

before it was slaughtered.

I couldn't watch this year for some reason. I usually watch the slaughtering.

I just turned around, shut my eyes, and put my hands over my ears, cause 

I didn't want to hear anything either, and then I cried a little. Idk why.

OK when I was a kid, my dad used to stain our foreheads with some blood,
I guess we just do it every year, ever since.

I helped out A LITTLE and look how bloody my hands got. ew.

I love this one!

this is Glaya, a mixture of meat, heart, liver, kidneys and of course fat!

the aftermath.

This years Eid was great! And of course, we're not like the typical Libyan families, who have large family gatherings on every occasion. It was just Dad, Mom, my sister and I this year. Last eid, my Aunt, Grams and Uncle came over, and that was basically it.

We slaughter 2 sheep maximum, ours and my Grams sheep, however this year, my Grams didn't want to get sheep, she gave her money to the needy.

Happy Eid to everyone! Kurban Bayraminiz Kutlu Olsun! :)
