This message is brought to you by the Bluefield Diversity Club: Yesterday marked the end of Ramadan celebrated by Muslims across the world. This day is called Eid (pronounced (EED)
is celebrated by Muslims worldwide because it marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan.
Fasting generally entails abstaining from food, drink from before the first light of dawn until the setting of the sun. Muslims are required to fast on each of the 29 to 30 days of Ramadan.
Eid involves family celebrations with prayer, family reunions and of course amazing food. A common greeting on this day is to say “Eid Mubarek” which means: Blessed feast. Happy Eid to all Muslims all over the world!
