Eid Al-Fitr

Eid Al-Fitr is one of the most important Muslim holidays  celebrated by Muslims all over the world marking the end of Ramadan, the fasting month . After sunrise, one-third of an hour approxiamately, we congregate to perform  the Eid prayer (Salat) in a wide open space and mosques. after the Salat, we we greet each other or shake hands and hug even if we don't know each other. Then, we join our families and get together at home for the feast and exchange greetings in a very warm atmosphere. Later, we visit relatives and friends, thus renewing family and friendship bonds as God has commanded us. We also give (Zakat) which is charity to the poor usually a predifined amount of money is multified by the number of people in your family house. Every country has its food traditions but in Morocco in general and Tetuan in particular, we prepare a lot of goodies for the children and the visitors  served with green mint tea and all sorts of fruit juice.
