Sacrifice Feast
Written by Antje on September 19th 2016 19:42
Last week, we celebrated the “Sacrifice Feast”. During this feast, Muslims commemorate that Abraham prepared to sacrifice his son Ishmael to God (in the Bible, Isaak is the son being sacrificed), that God stopped this at the last moment and that Abraham sacrificed a ram instead of his son. Every year, families who can afford it sacrifice a cow or goat or even a chicken. The meat is divided in 3 parts: 1 part for the family, 1 part for the neighbors, and 1 part for the poor. This year, I had been invited by 6 people in 4 days. Every time a large rice meal with various curries…. It is very special to meet people in their home, to see how they live and to get to know them a little bit better.
Our first invitation by one of the co-workers in our rehab center for children.
