Eid-ul-Fitr is my Favorite Holiday
that we celebrate in Pakistan. This holiday is one celebrated by Muslims. Eid-ul-Fitr
is the holiday that celebrates the end of Ramadan.
Ramadan is a month during which all
Muslims fast (don’t eat or drink) during the day. Children and elderly don’t
fast. We are able to eat and drink before sunrise and after sunset.
There are three days of Eid-ul-Fitr.
I love this holiday because it is about being with your family and your
friends. My family has a good way to
celebrate Eid. My family’s tradition is that
girls put on henna mehndi on our hands. It is like a temporary tattoo.
Each day of Eid, we all get dressed
in new clothes. Then we go around the house and say, “Eid Mubarak” to everybody
in our house. After that, the girls recite namaz (pray) and the boys go to the
mosque to pray. Then we go to our cousin’s house, or our grandparent’s house, or
they all come to our house. We play, talk, and then eat dinner together.
