01 SEPTEMBER 2017 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A ram that will be sacrificed tied up outside a home in a Muslim community during the celebration of Eid al-Adha at Haroon Mosque in Bangkok. Eid al-Adha is also called the Feast of Sacrifice, the Greater Eid or Baqar-Eid. It honours the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son. Goats, sheep and cows are sacrificed in a ritualistic manner after services in the mosque. The meat from the sacrificed animal is supposed to be divided into three parts. The family retains one third of the share; another third is given to relatives, friends and neighbors; and the remaining third is given to the poor and needy. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
