There are two major Eids in the Islamic calendar which are Eid ul-Fitr"Lesser Eid" which comes earlier in the year and Eid al-Adha or "Greater Eid" which comes later in the year. In the month of Ramadan, muslims keep a fast from sunrise to sundown for the complete month.

As per Quran, muslims believe that they have been commanded by God to continue their fast till the last day of Ramadan so they keep fasting till then. On Eid ul-Fitr, their fasting is over. The celebrations of Eid ul-Fitr last usually for three days when muslims feast, pray and exchange gifts. People greet each other with "Eid Mubarak". They cook seviyan and start this day by eating it. They wear new clothes. They also decorate their homes with lights and visit their relatives. Some of the muslim families also donate food to charity. Muslims are also encouraged to forgive and seek forgiveness.
