Eid celebration

Post-Ramadan festivity

Eid celebration refers to the festivities surrounding either of the two major Islamic holidays: Eid al-Fitr, which marks the end of Ramadan's month of fasting, or Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice commemorating Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son.

Celebrations typically include special prayers, feasting, gift-giving, and gathering with family: The whole neighborhood came together for the Eid celebration.
