Eid festival
Turkic word for a nationally-celebrated festival or holiday
In Islam, Eid is the name of two Islamic festivals:
- Eid ul-Fitr, after fasting the month of Ramadan, on the first day of Shawwal.
- Eid ul-Adha, remembering Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son to Allah, on the tenth day of Dhu al-Hijjah, for those not on pilgrimage.
The Eids are celebrated by Muslims all around the world.
