sad thing is i dunno if i spelled that right

 

Eid Mubarak is like saying "Happy Eid". In the Muslim religion there are two 'Eid' holidays a year...

Eid al-Fitr is the holiday celebration commemorating the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. This celebration lasts for one day and is closest to "Christmas" festivities in that there is prayer, family feasts, charity efforts, and good deeds.

Eid al-Adha (on approx. Dec 31st this year) is the holiday celebration commemorating the end of the holy pilgramage to Mecca known as Hajj. This celebration lasts for four days and is closest to "Easter" festivities in that there is thanks given for sacrifices made and that forgiveness and family are number one focuses.

I hope that answers it...but I'll leave it to Mo to clarify more.

 

VERY COOL!!!! It is times like these I realize I am a slacker when it comes to religion..

 

Happy Holidays to all.....may the new year bring many joy!

 

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years to all, did my celebrating early this year, in Miami, lol, so I expect to be working on New Years eve.
