A sheep is weighed at a market before slaughter on Tuesday, Oct. 15, 2013 in Damascus, Syria, on the first day of Eid al-Adha. Muslims worldwide are celebrating Eid al-Adha, or the Feast of the Sacrifice, by sacrificial killing of sheep, goats, cows or camels. The slaughter commemorates the biblical story of Abraham, who was on the verge of sacrificing his son to obey God's command, when God interceded by substituting a ram in the child's place.
