Eid al-Fitr

Eid Mubarak! 

Eid is the Arabic word for “festival” or “feast,” but also commonly means celebration. Eid al-Fitr, the feast of breaking the fast, is one of two major Eid festivals celebrated by Muslims around the world. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan each year and is determined by the sighting of the new moon. Muslims observe in many ways, including through prayers, sharing gifts, engaging in worship and other celebratory activities with family, friends and loved ones.
