After a month of abstaining from food and water, Muslims around the world will celebrate Eid al-Fitr on Wednesday (April 10).
What is Eid al-Fitr?
Eid, which is Arabic for 'feast' or 'festival', is celebrated by Muslim women to mark important events in the Islamic lunar calendar.
In the ninth month, commonly known as Ramadan, Muslims fast from dawn to sunset.
Eid al-Fitr is the holiday of breaking the fast, where family and friends come together to enjoy each other's company.
How is it celebrated?
While Eid al-Fitr usually lasts for three days, it can stretch into a month-long celebration depending on cultures and countries.
It is a time when Muslims wear new clothes and decorate and clean their homes. The first day of Eid usually begins with a prayer before gathering at home to celebrate with a feast of sweet and savory foods.
Sweets made especially for this holiday are special and gifts or money envelopes are given to children and the elderly. Eid al-Fitr is also a time when Muslim women are encouraged to forgive and seek forgiveness.
Are there two Eids?
Eid al-Fitr should not be confused with the other Eid holiday, Eid al-Fitr which is celebrated in the 12th month of the Islamic lunar calendar.
Eid al-Adha is known as the festival of sacrifice which also follows the completion of the annual Holy Pilgrimage of Hajj.
During this time, families participate in the slaughter of animals such as sheep, goats and cows where the meat will be shared among neighbors, friends and those who do not have good material conditions.
