Imlil, Morocco

Masques are so universal. In the annual celebration of Eid al Adha in Morocco, goats are sacrificed to commemorate Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son as the supreme act of faith. From the slaughter, boys will often pick a goat head, cut off the face, wear it as a masque, and scare whomever they can. See the youngin hiding in fear? [2017]
