Gilgeam the Horse-Eater: Difference between revisions

Line 42:

Modern day Rusani celebrate the life and sacrifice of Gilgeam as the Festival of Sacrifice (Jashnvareh Eesaar), four days of festivities. On the first day takes place the Feast of Enunu, where a horse is sacrificed and its flesh is cooked and shared by all in the community; mosques and municipalities set up large tents to feed those who cannot sacrifice a horse of their own. On the second day take place the Feats of Strength, where the men of the community participate in various activities such as tug of war and wrestling. This is meant to keep the men fit and strong, as Gilgeam was known to be. The third day is spent in prayers at the mosque, thanking God for sending Gilgeam to protect the world before the Prophet was revealed. The fourth day is a day of quiet, personal reflection on the trials Gilgeam faced and his ultimate sacrifice. The Jashnvareh Eesaar is a recognized festivity by the government and as such all who observe it have a right to four days off from their work.

The culinary tradition of raising horses for human consumption comes from the myths surrounding Gilgeam who ate the first horse. Horse meat consumption is not widespread practice across most of the world, horses are seen as having a different role alongside man. The people on [[Rusana]] on the other hand have reasoned that if horse was good enough for the first man to ever live, it is good enough for people to eat now.
