It is called "holiday of sheep" here, one of the most important celebrations.

If a family can, it buys one or more sheep. Traditionally, the meet is divided to 3 parts: for the family (big family, i.e. with relatives), for indigents, for the man itself.

The holiday is really huge, cities get empty for 1-2 days. Butcher's are closed for a week.

The most photos can be found cruel. In fact, if a person is not vegetarian, I have nothing to say to console him.
