Eid marks the end of a religious month in the Islamic calendar - Ramadan. During Ramadan Muslims fast from sunrise up until sunset allowing them to focus on their spirituality. It is also seen as a period of thanks and humility.
Fasting begins on the first day of the month of Ramadan and Eid marks the first day of the following month. On this day Muslims give food to charity, pray, visit friends and family and celebrate. For more information visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadan
Best of luck to all those continuing to fast for the next few days and Happy Eid for the end of the week!
