Ed Al Fitr is the three-day celebration following Ramadan. It is a festive and happy time during which Muslims do not fast; in fact, it is a time for feasts. The first day of Eid begins before dawn. After eating something (probably dates), showering, and putting on good or new clothes, Muslims gather in large outdoor areas for the first prayer of the day. Returning home from prayer, Muslims spend the day greeting friends and family. Homes are busy with visitors arriving throughout the day. Sweets, fruits, and snacks are offered to all and gifts are often given to children. Eid is a time to be thankful and generous.

Ramadan. The holy month during which faithful Muslims fast (no food, drink or cigarettes) from dawn to sunset. As soon as the sun goes down, the iftar (breaking of the fast) takes place, with most people hurrying to satisfy their hunger. Many businesses have shorter daytime hours. Ramadan, which begins with the first sighting of the new moon, continues for one month.

Hope that does it for you!
