Equity Corner : Eid-al-Fitr

The month-long celebration of Ramadan is coming to an end this Friday, April 21, with the sighting of the new moon. This means it's time for the giant celebration of the end of the month of fasting—Eid-al-Fitr. Eid can last up to 3 days and is a time of feasting, gift giving, and prayer. Traditions are different in different places around the world—here are some examples of ways that Eid is celebrated. If you know someone who has been celebrating Ramadan, why don't you ask them what their family does to mark Eid—and don't forget to wish them "Eid Mubarak! Happy Eid!"
