In Islam, Eid is a significant festival that is observed more than once a year. According to the Islamic lunar calendar, the two major celebrations coincide at a crucial time. Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr are both known by their abbreviated names of Eid. Although the rituals are largely the same in both celebrations, the reasons for their celebrations are vastly different. The current festival literally translates to a feast of fast-breaking. It is the first of the two and is observed on the first day of Shawwal, according to the Islamic calendar. It lasts for three days on average. It is a commemoration of the end of Ramzan, a holy month during which Muslims fast during the day and give alms to the poor, also known as Zakat.
