Family Holiday Dinner Rituals. In many cultures, the meal is the highlight of the holiday. In Christian culture a nice piece of meat is often the centrepiece of the meal. But we’d rather not think of the slaughter of the turkey, rabbit or lamb that is now this delicious piece of meat. In Islamic culture - here in Morocco - the slaughter itself is an essential part of the festivities. The highlight of Eid al-Adha (the Feast of Sacrifice) is not just the meal, but especially the slaughter of a goat or sheep: a festive family affair!
