Eid al-Fitr, which literally means the festival of breaking the fast, is a significant holiday observed by Muslims around the world over the first three days of Shawwal, the tenth month in the Islamic calendar. This year, despite ongoing conflict in Gaza casting a somber shadow over celebrations, people have come together to mark Eid with prayers, feasting and gatherings.
After a month of fasting from dawn to sunset and increased focus on worship, charity and good deeds, Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr. Traditionally a three-day feast, but its duration can vary depending on the country. It is a time for friends, family and expressing gratitude to God.
From Europe to the Middle East and beyond, Muslims have celebrated Eid with diverse traditions and customs that reflect their unique cultural heritage. Photo galleries from countries such as Romania, Italy, Greece, Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Germany, Jerusalem
