Eid al-Fitr (Eed Al-Fitter)
Fitr means “breaking the fast.” It occurs after Ramadan is over and is a celebratory feast to break the fast.
Common Practices
In the morning, worshippers gather in mosques and chant Allahu Akbar, or God is great. They thank God for his blessings, especially food, and chant, 'Allah! Lord! Send down to us a laden table from the heavens that it may be a feast for us, the first and the last of us, and a sign from you.' Worshippers believe that fasting brings home the awareness of the blessing of food. Believers will feast with friends and family on traditional foods.
Community Considerations
Avoid scheduling important events or activities on April 21. Expect that observers will not attend meetings or communicate on that day.
