Eid al-Fitr, meaning the Festival of Breaking the Fast, marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim month of fasting from dawn to sunset. It is one of the two major festivals in Islam. The day begins with a special congregational prayer in the morning, often outdoors or in large mosques, after which families greet each other with the words Eid Mubarak and visit relatives and friends. The festival lasts for up to three days in many countries. It is a joyful occasion that follows a month of spiritual discipline. The festival is the culmination of the month.
Muslims are expected to give charity before the prayer, called zakat al-fitr, so that the poor can also celebrate. People wear new or their best clothes, and sweets and festive meals are shared. In Turkey and the Balkans, the festival is known as Ramazan Bayramı in Turkish and as Bajram in Bosnian and Macedonian, and in Turkey it is also called the Sugar Feast, Şeker Bayramı, because of the sweets that are given to visitors and children. Visits to the graves of relatives are also customary in many communities. Visits to relatives are the heart of the holiday.
