Holidays in the world (national ones in the world, most unique ones, Easter, madrigras)

Although Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr are technically two separate holidays, you can’t have one without the other. In Islamic cultures, Ramadan is known as a month of fasting and Eid al-Fitr is the festival of breaking the fast. These holidays help Muslims connect with their religion and their loved ones. Ramadan begins during the ninth month of the Muslim calendar at the start of the new moon. Eid al-Fitr cannot start until the new moon of the following month, which signifies that a whole month of fasting has been completed. Ramadan typically falls in early May and Eid al-Fitr follows in early June. Ramadan Ramadan is observed by fasting when the sun begins to rise until sunset. This means that people have a short amount of time to eat. Although the practice is strenuous, fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam. Muslims believe that fasting is a way to atone for sins and deepen their connection to Allah. If people have the strength to abstain from food, it gives them the confidence that they can abstain from any harmful temptations in the future. Although children aren’t required to fast, many young and old Muslims alike are excited for Ramadan because it’s a special holy month. In order to celebrate their hard work, Muslims break their fast during the Eid al-Fitr festival, which lasts for three days after Ramadan. During Eid al-Fitr, Muslims visit loved ones, exchange cards and gifts, feast, and pray in public spaces together. Typical Eid al-Fitr dishes include Maamoul (stuffed shortbread cookies), sheer khurma (date milk), and doro wat (curry stew).
