Eid celebrations
Muslim holiday observances
Eid celebrations are the festivities marking either of the two major Islamic holidays: Eid al-Fitr, which ends the Ramadan fast, and Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice.
Celebrations typically include special prayers, feasting, gift-giving, and gathering with family: The whole neighborhood comes alive during Eid celebrations.
