Jillian C. York

It's been quite awhile since we last looked into the Moroccan blogosphere…so it's about time!  As the Eid al-Adha celebration has recently passed, bloggers are wishing each other well and sharing stories from the holiday.
The View From Fez reports that King Mohammed VI has pardoned 502 prisoners over the holiday.  In detail:
His Majesty, King Mohammed VI, has pardoned 502 prisoners for the Islamic Festival of Sacrifice or Eid al-Adha, being celebrated this week. According to a Justice Ministry press release, total pardon was granted to 15 inmates over their remaining prison term or seclusion, reduction of imprisonment term or seclusion to 299, commutating of life imprisonment to time term to 3, total pardon over the prison term or its remaining time to 29.
A royal pardon was granted to 15 inmates over their remaining prison term, while a reduced prison term was granted to 299 inmates, said the Moroccan Justice Ministry in a statement.
Asmaa Mouhib wishes her readers a happy Eid:
Demain, c’est la fête de Aïd Al-Adha. Mes meilleurs vœux de bonheur et de santé à tous les musulmans du monde en cette occasion !
Agharass also shares good cheer with readers:
Salamo aalaykom, chères agharassiennes, chers agharassiens. Je vous souhaite,à toutes et à tous, de passer un bon aid el ahdha avec joie et satisfaction d’avoir accompli notre devoir spirituel envers Allah. Mes meilleurs vœux à toutes et à tous.
Maryam of My Marrakesh gives thanks of a different kind…to the sheep which are sacrificed for the Eid al-Adha feast.  In a post called “A Shoukran [thank you] to Sheep,” she says:
So many of you have given your lives today.
On this holy day, this holy day of Aid.
Please know….
Your symbolism has not gone lost.
Your sacrifice has not gone forgotten
Including to those tender hearted.
