At 6am, this morning near my home ...
What a sight, all the folks streaming out on-to the street, leaving the mosque after morning prayer.
Eid ul-Fitr or Id-ul-Fitr (Arabic ... عيد الفطر ‘Īdu l-Fiṭr), often abbreviated to Eid, is a Muslim holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, the Islamic holy month of fasting.
Eid is an Arabic word meaning "festivity", while Fiṭr means "to break fast";
and so the holiday symbolizes the breaking of the fasting period. It is celebrated after the end of the Islamic month of Ramadan, on the first day of Shawwal.

What a fantastic sight from up above... Here's to several days of happy celebration to mark the end of the fasting month for our Muslim friends. :)
Thanks, I agree.
I was so privileged to see this sight first thing on Eid morning :-)
Happy Hols!
