Eid-al-Fitr (Eid al-Fitr, Eid ul-Fitr, Id-Ul-Fitr, Eid) is the first day of the Islamic month of Shawwal. It marks the end of Ramadan, which is a month of fasting and prayer. Many Muslims attend communal prayers, listen to a khutba (sermon) and give zakat al-fitr (charity in the form of food) during Eid al-Fitr.
Is End of Ramadan a Public Holiday?
This is a non-working holiday only for people who follow the Muslim faith. Public organizations, schools, and most businesses are open, though some private enterprises may have reduced hours.
Many Muslims dress in fine clothing and children receive gifts on Eid al-Fitr.
