As salamo alaikome
Inshallah my brothers and sisters here at TTI are all in good health and strong Iman.
Last night my husband took me to the EID Al Adha festival that they have here in Dcheira Agadir Morocco every year. It normally starts the day after EID Al Adha and lasts the whole week.
I call it the festival of the sheep people because most of the teens take the sheep skin and sew together costumes that they wear around town and although you wont see it in this video if they recognise someone they are supposed to hit that person with the hoof of the sheep which they have tied to a long string and attached to the sheep skin near their hand. I have seen some of the beatings and in my opinion I dont see the fun in it at all but apparently it has been going on for years and years and its the way they do things so who am I to judge? The sheep people think its a blast however I dont think the people getting beat up think its that great judging by the looks on their faces!
I am going to try to post a video of what I was able to see last night (minus the beatings by the sheep people). We didnt take this video-I found it on YouTube but it is exactly what I saw while at the festival last night so I hope the person who posted it at YouTube doesnt mind my borrowing it so that you can all share in the fun!
I hope this works inshallah because its the first time I am attempting to post a video inside my post.
