Eid Mubarak!
This year, Eid al-Fitr in New Zealand fell on Thursday, 11 April.
During the day, Muslims all over the world celebrate with Eid prayer, Eid Takbeer and family feast, to show their joy and gratefulness in completing their Ramadan fasting. They dress up on Eid morning in their best, often brand-new clothes and many decorate their houses for the occasion. Muslims greet one another on Eid day by saying ‘Eid Mubarak’ which means ‘blessed Eid’ and also exchange hugs. This is to create a feeling of good will and unity. There’s lots of ways people celebrate Eid al-Fitr. In some places, most festivities last for a month of Shawwal, the month that follows Ramadan, according to the Islamic calendar.
