Eid al Fitr - The Festival of the Breaking of the Ramadan Fast
October 13, 2007
Oct 24, 2006
Eid-al-Fitr is a festival that ends the fast of Ramadan. In Arabic "Eid" means "festival" or
"festivity." While the two Eid Festivals are always on the same day of the Islamic calendar, the
date on the Western calendar (the Gregorian calendar) varies from year to year due to
differences between the two calendars, since the Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar and the
Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar. Furthermore, the method used to determine when each
Islamic month begins varies from country to country. All future dates listed are only estimates.
