After being 3 years in Indonesia I had the chance to live Idul Adha day (see below) from a closer point of view. Funny enough, it happened in Bali, where most of the population is Hindu, and they worship cows.
The sunrise, the shadows, the dust, the blood, the noises of the animals while dying, ... made it a very intensive morning. I spent 2 hours around the place mending with the people at the mosque and observing the rituals. Maybe that's why I tried to put together some photos to tell the story in a provocative way, with lots of contrast... what should be the limits of these traditions? How can they fit in modern morality?
More about Eid al-Adha (Id ul-Adha):
Eid al-Adha (Id ul-Adha), the Arabic term "festival of the sacrifice", is a four-day Islamic festival starting on the 10th day of the month of Dhul Hijja (Thou al-Hijja) to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son.
Muslims sacrifice halal animals (usually a cow as a symbol of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his only son. This tradition accounts for the slaughter of more than 100 million animals in only two days of Eid.
