Today marks the first day of the Eid Al-Adha. It is the first day of a three day religious holiday. The town, mall, and homes are decorated for the holiday. At the mall next to the Christmas tree is a flock of sheep which represents all the sheep that devout Muslims will slaughter for Eid Al-Adha which is Leviticanly covering their family with sacrificial blood. In the past, the streets ran red but with modern sanitation and new laws, people do the sacrificing out towards the edge of town. Pray that this community has their eyes opened to the One True sacrificial lamb.
