Eid Mubarak (mid-week) update!

I just posted some pictures from Eid celebrations. It was a full day of photography, eating really great food, and getting to know those in my part of town that much better. You can see all of my pictures by clicking here.

Please note that some pictures from Eid-ul-Azha or the "Festival of Sacrifice" are of animals being sacrificed around my neighborhood. Muslims throughout the world on this holiday commemorate and remember Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son Ibrahim as an act of obedience to God through the of slaughtering goats and cows. A large portion of the meat is then given to the needy and poor.
