What is Eid al-Fitr?
Eid al-Fitr marks the end of the month of Ramadan. This feast occurs on the first day of the month of chawal, and unlike the previous thirty days of deprivation, the faithful are invited to eat on this day. Eid al-Fitr, otherwise known as “little celebration”, is a day of joy and rejoicing that the faithful usually spend with family and friends. Between traditions and religious obligations, this day is experienced as a time conducive to sharing and communion.
Eid day starts with a prayer specific and collective. Men and women gather in the morning at the mosque to pray and then listen to the imam’s sermon. Since this is the end of a month-long fast, the practitioners gather immediately around a festive meal, hearty, greedy and traditionally sweet.
