Eid Adha

In Morocco, as in many other Arab countries, feasts are an occasion when families gather and celebrate. It is a must for all individuals to come visit their relatives no matter what the circumstances are. The big Eid or Eid Kbir as described by Moroccans, also called Eid Adha, is the most crucial feast in Morocco. Moroccan families buy sheep to celebrate this occasion. Whatsoever their income is, the family insists and is very enthusiastic to buy a robust sheep. On the day of Eid, you see the members of the family sitting altogether to have breakfast before the time of Eid’s Odhiya arrives. After finishing their breakfast meal, each has his or her own mission. Once the sheep is slaughtered, its meat is made into pieces so as to be used during the whole month. On this same day, people go visit their relatives and say happy Eid to each other. The second day, the atmosphere of Eid is still in the house; it even lasts for the whole week. I hope you have the chance to witness such happy moments for yourself because no matter what the description is, you should see it from your angle to feel its passion yourself. Believe me, you will not regret it; so come if you are the type who wants to see other cultures.
