[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Eid El Adcha is on the tenth day of the Islamic month of Dhul Hijja. It is one of two Eid festivals that Muslims celebrate.

Eid ul-Adha is celebrated by Muslims worldwide as a commemoration of Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son (Ishmael) for (Allah) God. Others celebrate Eid-ul Adha as it marks the end of the Pilgrimage or Hajj for the millions of Muslims who make the trip to Mecca in Saudi Arabia each year.

The first day of Eid Al Adha is the primary holiday, on which men, women, and children are expected to dress in their finest clothing and perform prayer in a large congregation.
Muslims who can afford to do so sacrifice domestic animals, usually sheep, as a symbol of Ibrahim's sacrifice. The meat is distributed amongst their neighbours, relatives, and the poor and hungry. The regular charitable practices of the Muslim community are demonstrated during Eid ul-Adha by the concerted effort to see that no impoverished Muslim is left without sacrificial food during this day...

"While walking along a bumpy, open-field, you sight an obstacle, a barrier and soon youcome upon a wire fence several meters high.
There is no sign that points to the village nor is there a road which leads into the village.
Once you have navigated the obstacles you are staring at corrugated zinc, metal shacks and tents used as houses in the middle of the Negev Desert . There are 45 such villages with 76,000 citizens, living in what is known as an “unrecognized village”.

Part of a documentry project in the Unrecognized villages of the Negev.

Good documentary shot, before I read the note I thought it was of a rather more terrible event.

Hi amitai, First, i want to say that u may have written some wrong info in ur note muslims do not celebrate eid aldha at the end of ramadan... and this photo showing the blood might give a wrong idea about this event, and some people might misjudge what happens in this day and understand it as a TERRIBLE EVENT.
