Early on the morning of Eid, I woke up with my host sister, Meryem and host dad, Muhammad to get our sheep. Eid Al Adha is an Islamic holiday comes from the story of Ibrahim’s devotion towards God and his willingness to sacrifice his son but in the end God gives Ibrahim a sheep instead This a picture of the sheep right before my host dad sacrificed it. In order to prepare for this holiday, the family fasted before hand and my host dad prayed at the mosque before driving to the farm.
