Eid ul Fitr

Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting, ends with a day of spiritual renewal which is a public holiday called Eid-ul-Fitr. The morning of the first day of Eid-ul-Fitr begins with an early meal, followed by a special charity in the form of money, food, or produce which is given to the needy or to Islamic organizations.
Thousands of Muslims around the world then gather at their mosques or large open meeting sites, and turn towards the holy city of Mecca to share in prayers of thanksgiving for completing their fast . At the end of the morning prayers, families and friends engage in a Salat, whereby they visit each other and exchange gifts and greetings.
