Muslims in Lebanon Begin Eid Aal-Adh Holiday

401434 03: Workers slit the throats, drain the blood and butcher sacrificial sheep at the start of the four-day Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha, or "Feast of the Sacrifice," February 22, 2002 on the outskirts of Beirut, Lebanon. According to the Muslim holy book, the Koran, Eid al-Adha commemorates Gods test of Abrahams faith by ordering him to sacrifice his son Ismael and Gods last-minute command to slaughter a sheep instead. Muslims slaughter sheep, cows or other livestock and distribute the meat to the needy during the holiday. Photo by Courtney Kealy/Getty Images)
