Heya-Beya Festival Bahrain


Perhaps you noticed from streets or markets, people selling a small basket of grass. It's part of Bahrain tradition on the evening of Eid Al Adha, kids will bring grass planted in basket to the shore and cast it into the sea.

They called as celebration of Heya-Beya Celebration. The tradition consider as the first lesson of sacrifice in the life of Bahraini children. By tradition each children days before Eid have to plant Heya-Beya, but nowadays, a ready made Heya-Beya available in the market.
