Eid ul-Fitr is a religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during Ramadan. The day of Eid, therefore, falls on the first day of Shawwal. This is typically a joyous celebration for Muslims, and the traditions observed around Eid ul-Fitr often involve spreading greetings with family members, friends, and neighbors.
