Here, the PA new agency looks at what the Islamic holiday entails.
– What is Eid?
There are two Eids celebrated each year in the Islamic calendar.
On Thursday, Muslims will celebrate Eid al-Fitr, which is also known as the festival of breaking fast.
It is typically celebrated at the end of the Muslim month of fasting, called Ramadan.
The second Eid, called Eid al-Adha, which is also known as the “festival of sacrifice”, is marked around two months later at the same time when many Muslims perform the Hajj pilgrimage.
