First there is a month in our Islamic calendar with the name RAMAZAN. In which we fast from sun rise till sun set. We don’t eat or drink between this time. This routine we follow for the whole month. After this holy month is over then there is a day of celebration which is called EID. On this day we go to our mosque ( a place where Muslims go to pray like Christians go to a church and Buddhist go to a temple) to pray a special prayer. After that we come home and have some sweet dish in the breakfast and then we go to our friends and relatives homes with presents and wish them this day. The celebration goes on for three consecutive days.
In short it’s our Christmas. Hehehehe and we celebrate this EID day 02 times in a calendar year.
As for your question is concerned we have twelve months in Islamic calendar year but there are two holy months in which we celebrate EID and these are on 1st Shawal and 10th Zil Haj. Shawal and Zil Haj are Islamic month names. The English dates vary and we cannot calculate them. Shawal is the 10th month and Zil Haj is the 12th month in Islamic calendar. The Eid which we celebrate after fasting for approx 30 days is called Eid-ul-Fitar or nick named Small Eid and Eid which we celebrate in Zil Haj is called as Eid-ul-Azha or Big Eid. On this day we sacrifice a goat or a cow or a camel whichever one can afford.
