Sweeet story Karen! Such a cute baby girl! So sweet of her to sat baa baa!

Popcornbird, we had a lovely time! I went over to cousin's home and then stayed there for nearly the rest of the day. The plot next to their house, always has goats or camels or sheep at Eid time. It is quite fun peeking over the garden wall ad seeing all the animals. We couldnt see the slaughtering of the camel or the cows, But, my cousin made a movie of it because he went AND he didnt tell us! Great to hear your son enjoyed, my little nephews were all sick and so was my sister and her husband and her in-laws, everybody in that lived in that big house, praying that they feel better soon. My bigger nephew saw me in my abaya and so started crying that I was going somewhere without him, I had to go over to my father's aunt's house because she lived a little far away so thats why I had to go in a car. We had to quieten him down and then we later sent him home and went off to my father aunt's home.

smokey..I dont know what skin grafts are.

Skin grafts are where they replace damaged or missing skin with a piece from somewhere else, or someone or something else. It is often done with burn victims whose skin is too damaged to heal. It's like putting a patch on a damaged garment - it may not fit perfectly, but it covers the problem, and keeps germs, etc., out.

Oh!! I still don't know why they need goat and cow skins

PCP,

Thanks for explaining the holiday. I worked with a devout Muslim at BB&B. My absolute FAVORITE manager!! One time he ordered Chinese food with vegetables only. They wound up delivering PORK fried rice!!!

I guess cause sometimes human skin to do the grafts isn't readily available? that's probably why

We had a sheep slaughtered yesterday... It was so cute and shy. Really sweet. I will upload the pictures as soon as possible

It is good to sacrifice something you love for the sake of your God
I am happy I sacrificed something

Couldn't you sacrifice something more personal to you, like a favorite toy,
a favorite dress or a week of doing some activity that you really enjoy doing?

Back in the ancient times a sheep or a cow was like money is today and
a sacrifice was a real sacrifice for the people giving it, but today it doesn't
mean what it did back then.

Look, I know you are a child so I won't belabor the point, but I am an animal
lover. That's why I joined PT. It is upsetting to hear of animal "sacrifice" in
this day & age and that's why I posted. Peace.

Ditto!

I certainly hope we aren't going to see pics of the sacrifice, or the end result!

Oh! please!!! I will only upload the live animal, not slaughtered ones! If anybody wants to see the slaughtered ones, you can PM me. I am not silly that I just upload them without asking first!
