Eid al-Fitr falls on Wednesday, April 10, 2024 in Montenegro in 2024.
A religious or community holiday: observed by the group concerned, not a general day off.
In 2024 it falls on a Wednesday, a working day.
The date follows a lunar or religious calendar, so it moves every year and is often confirmed only shortly before.
Saturday and Sunday · A public holiday does not always close every business. Essential services, shops and some industries keep working, and pay rules differ by country and contract.
Eid al-Fitr, often translated as 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 main festivals of Islam, and is also called the Lesser Eid. The day begins with a special congregational prayer, often held outdoors or in large mosques, after which families greet each other with Eid Mubarak and visit relatives and friends. Depending on the country, the celebration lasts from one to three days.
Before the Eid prayer every Muslim who can afford it pays zakat al-fitr, a charitable gift to the poor so that everyone can take part in the festival. People wear new or their best clothes, and sweets and festive meals are shared. In Turkey the festival is called Ramazan Bayrami and also Seker Bayrami, the Sugar Feast, because of the sweets offered to visitors. In the Balkans it is known as Bajram, for example Ramazanski bajram in Bosnian.
