Eid al-Fitr

Eid Mubarak! or “Blessed Eid!” to all in our community who celebrate Eid al-Fitr. Today is Eid al-Fitr, the Islamic festival that concludes the holy month of Ramadan. After a month of reflection and fasting, Eid al-Fitr is a time to gather with friends and family to celebrate with food and festivities. Countries across the world hold large events and fireworks displays. Eid-al-Fitr is a time for Muslims to show gratitude and give to those who may be less fortunate. Gift giving traditions include sweet treats, such as cookies and dates exchanged among loved ones, neighbors, colleagues, and friends, and gifts for family members, especially children.
