Sacrifice holyday

We are now in Holydays (for those that have a job) here. It's the Kurban Bayram, a religious muslim holyday. From what I've learned it's based on a story that exists both in the Bible and Kuran where Abraham is told by God to sacrifice his son and when he was ready to do it God comes back and tells him he just needs to sacrifice a ram.
In Turkey with all the families that follow the tradition, the father of the family takes care of going to the place where they kill the animals and getting an animal for the sacrifice, then the family cooks a meal from it and part of the meat is given to charity.
In the old days the sacrifices were made on the streets, I can only imagine all the blood running through the streets of Istanbul with all these people killing the animals, and the noise! But now this is ilegal and there are places to do it all around the cities.
Unfortunatly I was partying the night before and didn't wake up in time to go watch it...
At the supermarkets charity organizations distribute leaflets asking people to give the skin of the animal to them.
