Eid is right around the corner and will see Muslims all across Greater Manchester celebrate with friends and families.
Eid al-Fitr is an extremely significant day in the Islamic calendar and marks the end of the holy month of Ramadan which has seen Muslims all around the world partake in a period of fasting. Eid al-Fitr is celebrated on a different date each year because it follows the cycle of the moon. This year, Eid will either be celebrated on Friday, April 21 or Saturday, April 22. Timings and dates vary according to the country a person is in as well as what tradition a person may follow.This means many Muslims across Greater Manchester may celebrate Eid on a separate day from others. Fortunately, there are celebration events for Eid taking place all across the region which have factored this in, with some events holding two-day celebrations so everyone can get involved.
