   We end the month, as Muslims end Ramadan, (and begin the month of   
   Shawwal), with Eid-al-Fitr (Arabic: عيد الفطر, romanized: ʿĪd   
   al-Fiṭr,   
   lit. 'Festival of Breaking the Fast').   
      
   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Fitr   
      
   Some countries just celebrate it on 31 March; others start from 29 or 30   
   March and run to 1 April. It's a big festival.   
      
   Sometimes called just Eid for short, it has different names in some   
   countries:   
      
   Small Sallah (Nigeria)   
   Eid es-Seghir (Morocco)   
   Korité (Senegal)   
   Idid Ramazon (Tajikistan)   
   Ramazon Hayit (or) Ro'za hayiti (Uzbekistan)   
   Orozo Ait (Kyrgyzstan), Oraza Ait (Kazakhstan)   
   Hari Raya [holiday] Idul Fitri (or) Lebaran (Indonesia)   
   Hari Raya Puasa [fasting holiday] (Malaysia and Singapore)   
   Hariraya Buka Puasa (Philippines)   
   Ramazan Bayramı [Ramadan holiay] (or) Şeker Bayramı [sugar holiday]   
   (Turkey) and cognate terms in the Balkans   
   Uraza Bajram (Ураза-байрам) (Russia)
