It is one of the religious occasions, which is especially sacred to the general Muslim population throughout the world. It is Eid al-Adha, whose preparation, along with its rituals and customs, is of prime importance to Moroccans. The regions of Sousse and the South are not excluded from these customs, which are unique in ceremonial manifestations, some of which are deeply rooted in the local Susan culture.
The atmosphere of Eid al-Adha in Souss may emerge from the Moroccan cities, where Soussa resides to carry out their economic activities. One might notice that most of the shops close their doors a few days after Eid al-Adha, because Swassa has all gone to their original areas in the villages and countryside of Sousse.
Eid Tasfaka, as the Souss call it, creates many exceptional climates, which only arise in the days of the 'tenths' associated with Eid al-Adha, so that the economic movement is active in the daily markets, and the Susan regions are transformed from semi-deserted countryside to the dominated villages. the movement. It also becomes a meeting place for its children, who often regard the days of Eid al-Adha as an annual holiday for them. For this occasion, we observe habits before, during, and after Eid, and although there have been changes, some still resist extinction.
In a statement to Hespress, Khaled Al-Aywad, a research professor in heritage, said that "Eid al-Adha Bsous is considered a religious ritual, the manifestations of readiness and celebration vary from region to region, according to local specificities, but everyone is preparing to apply this ritual, which falls within the religious holidays known, And of great importance to the general Muslim community. "
As for some aspects of the change in the celebrations of the people of Sous, Eid al-Adha, Khalid al-Ayyad said: “Previously, the Susanese communities were rural, relying on agriculture and raising cattle. But it was because of the phenomenon of internal migration that the cities and their margins started to expand.
Al-Ayyoud explained that "the urban residents acquire the sacrifice for months before the Eid, and put it during that period on the roofs of houses. Especially with the advent of social housing, in which it is impossible to attend the aforementioned activities, but parallel things have emerged, produced by the specificity of Moroccan society, able to adapt to reality. "
"In the cities, we find shops that can be used seasonally. During Ramadan, they promise everything associated with it, and on Eid al-Adha it becomes a space for the sale of sacrificial animals. This seasonal process involves income-generating activity for the people of Houmt, and the absence of places to keep the sacrifice in these buildings ", He said.
Sacrificial spaces are also changing. "Acquisition takes place in well-known weekly markets," says the researcher. To distant markets, which are proximity services that change with circumstances, and are part of the rituals and customs associated with preparations for Eid al-Adha. "
The rituals of Eid al-Adha are not very different from the rest of Morocco, both in terms of waking up early, dressing in the best dress, and performing the Eid prayer, before the slaughtering process and the accompanying art of preparing various meals and exchanging family visits, which emerges after the cohesion between families. In addition to the activity of the butchers and some seasonal crafts such as head-grinding, the rituals of watching as "Bogloud" in Sousse. But there are some rituals that are beginning to become extinct, such as the preparation of "kerdas" and "Qadid." Despite the presence of refrigerators, some people still prefer these things, because of their nostalgia and nostalgia for the beautiful time in southern Morocco. "
"Today, our cities are undergoing changes, but we need to pay attention to some things. We should not fight the phenomenon, we should frame it, involving civil society in preparing for Eid and organizing the collection of associated waste," he said. The sacrificial operations must be framed and organized because they are a great service to the population, along with grilling, which must be organized away from haphazardness and chaos. In each building, for example, B. We recall that we are in an environment that is still a collective life, and religious festivals are celebrated annually.
On the migration of Souss from the Moroccan cities towards their villages and valleys, Adel Adasco, a civil society activist, told Hespress that "the occasion of Eid al-Adha is a season for the migration of the Souss to the south, where the major cities such as Casablanca, Rabat, Salé, Meknes, Fez and Kenitra know the closure of all The shops, restaurants and cafes, which belong to the people of the south, and precisely "political" as described by the inhabitants of the rest of the Moroccan cities.
“As soon as Eid al-Adha is approaching, the Saussians leave the big cities and return to their home towns to spend their Eid days with their family, because the traders, especially the owners of the food stores, consider Eid al-Adha their annual holiday. To return to the remote villages of Sousse, whose people have been abandoning them to the cities, in search of a living and a better life for their children, especially with the successive years of drought, so that many towns in Souss became empty on their thrones, and only return to life during the Eid al-Adha , Exploited by associations Area for the establishment of cultural, recreational, artistic and sports activities Jmaouip, along with weddings and events who are known, "the spokesman adds.
“Eid al-Adha and the days that come after it cause a big void of business activity in the big cities,” Adasco said. “Shops, restaurants and some cafes are closed. Eid rituals in Tamazert, where most family members gather and perform these customs in the village spaces.
"Everyone knows that Souss' merchants have long been considered an important economic force for trade. Families from Souss, who have an important labor force in trade, have a weight," said the association. Economic heavy in the big cities, and sits on the throne of trade, and this makes it leave a big gap and change in the scene of neighborhoods, routes and alleys after the owners of the shops close the doors and head towards the Amazigh Valley, which has a special flavor, where the traditions of the community is still alive, as well as The celebration of the feast is accompanied by special artistic practices Such as poultry houses and Balmaon (Boujeloud), which confers on Eid al-Adha Bsous special flavor berber ".
