Happy Eid al-Fitr! More commonly known as the ‘Festival of Breaking the Fast,’ d al-Fir is one of the two most important Islamic celebrations (the other occurs after the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca). At this celebration, people dress in their finest clothes, adorn their homes with lights and decorations, give treats to children, and enjoy visits with friends and family. Of course with public health measures, this year will look quite different, and many visits will be virtual, but meaningful all the same. To all those marking this festival, no matter how you celebrate, we wish you a blessed Eid! #Eid #EidAlFitr #eid2021
