      From: benlizro@ihug.co.nz              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)              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
