Eid in the time of Corona

<p>The word ‘Eid’ means ‘feast’ or ‘festival’.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Each year Muslims celebrate both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, but the names often get shortened to just ‘Eid’ and that’s why it can be confusing. Eid al-Fitr – which means ‘festival of the breaking of the fast’ – is celebrated at the end of Ramadan, which is a month when many adult Muslims fast. This year (2020) it was celebrated on 23-24 May. Eid al-Adha or the festival of sacrifice was celebrated 31 July to 3rd August 2020.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Images show a gift and decor during the Eid celebrations.</p> <p><br></p> <p>-----</p> <p>This material is part of the <a href="https://cov19chronicles.com/" target="_blank">Covid Chronicles from the Margins</a> project, funded by The Open University and The Hague.
