It was a bad day to be a sheep. Eid el Adra celebrates the time when Abraham was tested by
God to sacrifice his son. We will not talk
about which of his sons was involved. At the last moment, God told Abraham he
had passed the test and provided a ram to sacrifice in place of the son. People
around Garut sacrificed rams (and a bull or two) and gave the meat to poor
people. My family had four rams and a rather large bull. For dinner we had the
meat from both kinds of animals. I think the poor people must have gotten the
better cuts.
