The Islamic festive known as Eid al-Fitr, together with Eid al-Adha, is the celebration of breaking the fast. Muslims all around the world observe the holy holiday because it signifies the conclusion of the month-long Ramadan fast, which is observed from sunrise to sunset.It occurs on the first day of Shawwal in the Islamic calendar, which does not always correspond to the same day in the Gregorian calendar because the start of each lunar Hijri month depends on the time the new moon is observed by local religious authorities. The day is also called Lesser Eid, or simply Eid.
