EPL Picks Kids: Eid

Eid al-Fitr, sometimes called "smaller Eid", is celebrated by Muslims around the world. This "feast of breaking the fast" marks the end of Ramadan and is an occasion to pray, share well-wishes, and spend time with family and loved ones. It is followed a few months later by the larger Eid Al-Adha, or "feast of sacrifice." Learn more about Eid and how it is celebrated! This list also features stories about Ramadan.
