What do you say to someone celebrating Eid?
Eid Mubarak is a traditional Muslim greeting reserved for use on the festivals of Eid ul-Adha and Eid ul-Fitr. Eid means “Feast” and refers to the occasion itself, and Mubarak means “Blessed.” Muslims wish each other Eid Mubarak after performing the Eid prayer at a Mosque or home.

As will all festivals, Eid is also a time to bond with friends and family, feast on yummy food, and exchange gifts.
