Eid Mubarak to all of you in Advance. Hope this Eid will
bring peace and hapiness in the world.
The two main Muslim festivals are Eid-ul-Fitr and
Eid-ul-Azha. Eid-ul-Fitr is observed after the end of the
month of Ramadan.
Like other years, Eid-ul-Fitr will be celebrated in
Bangladesh with great devotion next Friday or Saturday
subject to appearence of Moon. Everyone tries to dress well
and prepares special dishes according to their ability on
this day. Relatives and neighbours also share the joys of
this festival with each other.
Eid fairs are organized at many villages. Handicraft items
and foodstuffs such as chira, muri, khai, manda and sweets
are sold in the fairs. Nakshi pankha, dolls, decorated
pottery as well as musical instruments such as flute, drum,
ektara are also sold.
During the Eid day all Muslims join Eid prayer in the
morning and Its mandatory. In Bangladesh all Religious
community enjoy their festival like Christmas, Durga Puja,
Buddu Purnima and Eid as Government declared vacation. But I
dont know American System. We should attend our morning Eid
prayer. If it will be in the Wednesday I am not able to join
my class. There should be vacation for muslim student for
Eid Festival.
First time for me to observe Eid out of my country and
family members. I miss them all.
