EVENT ADDRESS:
DESCRIPTION:
Eid al-Fitr (the festival of breaking fast) is one of the most important holidays in Islam.
This three-day event celebrates the end of the month of Ramadan. During Ramadan, Muslims fast from food, water, tobacco, sex, and other cultural activities from sunrise to sunset for 28 days. Observing the fast during Ramadan is one of the five pillars of Islam.
Eid al Fitr marks the end of the fast and is a family celebration equivalent in festivities to Christmas in Christianity or Chinese New Year in China. Gifts are exchanged, and massive feasts are prepared that can last for up to three days. Fireworks grace the night sky.
In the Islamic world, companies, schools, and governments close for up to a week. Governments and companies often grant bonuses of up to two months' pay to their Muslim employees. Vacations and family trips abroad are typical at this time.
