Eid El Kbir

One of the most important religious celebrations we have in Tetuan is Eid Al Adha, also popularly called ``Eid El Kbir‘‘ –the Great Feast- because it has a significant value for Muslims . In Tetuan, as well as in other cities in Morocco, most people buy a lamb or a sheep and prepare delicious sweets and cookies in advance for the special occasion. Also, parents purchase new clothes for their children. After the congregational Eid prayer early in the holiday morning, families either convene for the sacrifice of the sheep or do it indiviually at home. It is a typical Moroccan tradition to prepare a special breakfast with the meat on the first day .Everyday has its own special dishes such as mechoui, couscous and many more. However, the main philosophy  behind thiscelebration is not only food but to revive the memory of our Prophet Ibrahim, peace be upon him, and also to share a good part of the lamb with the poor people who can’t afford to celebrate this event. For us,« Eid Al Kbir » is our favorite celebration becuase it has a lot of religious, cultural and human values.
