Festival of Sacrifice" is a religious festival celebrated by Muslims worldwide to commemorate the willingness of Ibrahim (Abraham) to sacrifice his son Ishmael (Issac) as an act of obedience to God. However, God provided a ram in place once Ibrahim demonstrated his willingness to follow God's commands. They slaughter goats here and then distribute the meat by thirds one to the poor, one to family/friends and a third for themselves.This goat's head is lain on the wooden block, that has a niche carved out for its neck prior to it being slaughtered.
