Eid al-Fitr

History

Eid al-Fitr, the "festival of breaking the fast", marks the end of Ramadan on the first day of Shawwal. Muslims gather for a special morning prayer, give charity (zakat al-fitr) to people in need, visit family and share a festive meal. Because the date follows the sighting of the new moon, it can differ by a day from the calculated date.
