Meaning and traditions
Eid'l Fitr — the Feast of Ramadan — marks the end of the Islamic holy month of fasting. It's a regular holiday in recognition of our Muslim kababayan and the simple fact that our national calendar should reflect more than one faith.
The date depends on the lunar calendar and an official sighting of the moon, so the proclamation usually lands close to the actual day. Expect communal prayers, big shared meals, visits, and zakat (charity) — the celebration that follows a month of fasting and discipline.
