Muslims who spent the past month fasting from sunrise to sundown are now celebrating Eid al-Fitr, the festival that marks the end of Ramadan.
“The day starts with performing a special prayer service at the mosque,” according to Harvard’s Pluralism Project. “After the prayer service, many mosques host festivals and carnivals with food, games, and rides for children, along with bazaars and other vendors.”
