Islamic holidays
Eid and others
Islamic holidays are religious observances in the Muslim calendar.
The two major ones are Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan's month-long fast, and Eid al-Adha, the Festival of Sacrifice commemorating Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son.
Other significant observances include Mawlid (the Prophet Muhammad's birthday) and the Islamic New Year.
Because the Islamic calendar is lunar, these holidays shift earlier each year relative to the Western calendar.
