Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations are taking place all over the world during 19 – 21 August as Muslims celebrate the end of Ramadan – the Islamic holy month of fasting.
Eid al-Fitr is a time of great merriment and thanks-giving. Muslims celebrate by gathering with friends and family, preparing food, giving gifts and putting up lights and decorations in their homes. A common greeting during this holiday is “Eid Mubarak”, which can be translated as, “Have a blessed Eid!” or “may you enjoy a blessed festival”
