BERBER VILLAGES OF THE HIGH ATLAS MOUNTAINS, MOROCCO, NORTH AFRICA -- Part 2

IMAGES BY STEVE WRIGHT, WORDS BY LISA SYKES/THE GUARDIAN
In the Berber villages of the Toubkal region in Morocco's High Atlas mountains, this unorthodox game of tag is the aftermath of the Tafaska

Tafaska is the feast of the lamb - which commemorates Abraham's sacrifice of a sheep in place of his son and is held 60 days after Ramadan. 

Sheep and goats are slaughtered for feasting, and the skins are stitched into suits, worn for four pungent days.
