Eid al-Fitr is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the month of fasting. It's a time for celebration, prayer, and community gatherings. The holiday is also known as the "Festival of Breaking the Fast" and is a time for joy and fellowship. 

• End of Ramadan:

Eid al-Fitr directly follows Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting from dawn to sunset. 

• Breaking the Fast:

It's a celebration of the end of this period of fasting, allowing Muslims to eat during daylight hours again. 

• Community Celebrations:

Muslims typically gather for special prayers, feasts, and social visits with family and friends. 

• Gifts and Charity:

Children often receive gifts or money, and there's a tradition of giving to those less fortunate through charity. 

• Forgiveness and Amends:

Eid al-Fitr is also a time for forgiveness and making amends with others. 

• Lunar Calendar:

The exact date of Eid al-Fitr varies each year because it follows the Islamic lunar calendar, which is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian calendar. 

• Joyful Celebration:

Because it marks the end of a period of self-restraint and worship, Eid al-Fitr is generally a very joyful and festive occasion.
