Muslims around the world celebrated the Eid al-Adha holiday on Monday, one of the two most important festivals of the Islamic calendar.

Marking the willingness of Ibrahim, or Abraham, to sacrifice his son on God’s command, Muslims mark the holiday by slaughtering animals such as sheep and goats. The meat is shared among family and friends and also donated to the poor. And the water turns blood red!

 

Eid al-Adha 2016 was expected to begin on Sunday, September 11.

But on Friday September 2, the supreme court in Saudi Arabia announced that the Muslim festival of Eid will be on Monday, September 12.

In Asia, tens of thousands of people left Bangladesh’s capital Dhaka on crowded trains and ferries for their hometowns to celebrate the holiday with family and friends.

And kill plenty of animals (goats and cows) leaving the blood running down the streets.

Apocalypse 16: 3-7: And the second angel poured out his vial upon the sea, and there came blood as it were of a dead man; and every living soul died in the sea. [4] And the third poured out his vial upon the rivers and the fountains of waters; and there was made blood. [5] And I heard the angel of the waters saying: Thou art just, O Lord, who art, and who wast, the Holy One, because thou hast judged these things: [6] For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.
