Eid al-Fitr
The Festival of Fast-Breaking
Eid al-Fitr is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. On the day of the celebration, a typical Muslim family is awake very early and then after praying the first normal everyday prayer, is required to eat in a small quantity, symbolizing the end of Ramadan. They then attend special congregational prayers held only for this occasion in mosques, in large open areas, stadiums. The prayer is generally short, and is followed by a sermon (khutba).
After that muslims greet and embrace each other in a spirit of peace and love. After the special prayers, festivities and merriment are commonly observed with visits to the homes of relatives and friends to thank God for all blessings.
