Mercato di Kerdasa, Giza, Egitto

A sheep is pictured in the car of an Egyptian man ahead of the Eid al-Adha celebrations at a local market in Kerdasa, Giza, Egypt, 08 November 2010. Muslims worldwide prepare to celebrate Eid-al-Adha on 16 November 2010 by the sacrificial killing of goats, cows or camels. The slaughter commemorates the biblical story of Abraham, who was on the verge of sacrificing his son to obey God’s command when God interceded by substituting a ram in the child’s place.
