First of all i would like to introduce myself, my name is
Issam Hamidi , I’m a 10th Grade student from Tangier and i study in « Groupe scolaire le
Detroit ».
I’m going to show you my best day of the year « Achoura »
and why it’s so valuable for me and for all the Morrocans.
Morrocan children of every age are celebrating the Festival
of Achoura, the tenth day of Muharram, which fell on January 19 th this year.
Families traditionally gather together to have special meals and offer zakat or
a tenth of their annual income to the poor. Stree
Trade, in toys and « Taarija » drums, is busy as the holiday gets closer. Dolls, plastic guns, cars, masks, and every other toy imaginable are available. Toys for every budget make choices for the children and family who have financial difficulties .
Children and adults usually buy a new drum every season. Some have been collecting the Moroccan drums for many years,me for example I'm on my way to the billionth drum. Friends and families will meet on the big day to play their drum while singing and dancing so it's an occasion to meet distant family .
We the children take the celebrations to the street during the Achoura Festival. Most of us are waiting in anticipation to light up our fireworks .
In prior years children would set off rockets. Families will
meet together for a special meal of dried fruits and couscous. Moroccans will
light candles and visit the dead in cemeteries to offer prayers for them.
Achoura comes from the Arabic word for ten, 10. During the festival,We offer zakat or a tenth of the money earned in the previous year to the poor.
Dried fruits
Couscous
Personally I find this day a day that combines religion,
happiness and generosity.
3 super combines mixed all together that gives us a SuperYummy delicious
Day !!!!
I hope i have well introduced you to my favorite day of the
year , well now it’s your turn to tell us
about yours.
that sounds very satisfying getting to share your wealth with the poor. i feel that it would be very beneficial for America to have a holiday like that, it would potentially bring down the imprisonment rate and it would potentially create better lives for many.
RépondreSupprimerSharing wealth with poor people has a lot of advantages on the society refering to what you have said but i think helping another person in need could never be described by words, paragraphs or novels, and could never be limited on the benefits on the society. it's a unique feeling that we experience at that moment,a kind of soul nutrition ( I close this parenthese , i sound like a shrink )
RépondreSupprimerI totally agree with you,it would be very beneficial for America to have a kind of holiday that celebrates giving and sharing . Now it's My turn to ask you some questions
