Eid al Fitr in NY عيد الفطر

Look at This!!

Eid al Fitr is a Muslim festival / holiday to celebrate the end of the Holy month of Ramadan (رمضان) which is a fasting month. Ramadan this year is likely to begin on or around 21st of August and lasts for approx 30 days, then comes the Eid.


A Moroccan friend of mine was in charge of a 2006 Eid celebration at a Muslim organisation in NY that she belonged to. So I joined her and another friend to help out.

It's the Islamic custom for men to start first, then followed by women and children

Tons of Food and Sweets - What a Feast!

معكرونة, Arabic Rice, Salad, Chicken, Lamb, Roast Potatoes, etc...

My friend's Lamb Casserole à la marocaine was superb!
