Mutlu Bayramlar to all our readers. (Happy Bayram Holiday). Today is the start of Kurban Bayram, which is the most important Islamic religious festival.
The festival celebrates the Biblical and Kur’anic account of Abraham’s near-sacrifice of his son on Mount Moriah, proving Abraham’s complete obedience to God. In the story, God stays Abraham’s hand at the last moment and provides a ram for sacrifice instead, praising Abraham for his faithfulness.
Following this tradition, the head of each Turkish household hopes to sacrifice a sheep on the morning of the first day of the holiday period. A lavish meal is made from the meat, friends and family are invited to feast, and the excess meat and the hide are donated to charity.
At least here in the UK the fog disappeared and the sun came out, if only for a short while but it was so warm and we didn’t have any heating on all day.
