As the holy month of Ramadan comes to a close, Muslims worldwide will celebrate Eid al-Fitr which marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting.
The lunar month of Ramadan is a period of 29 or 30 days where Muslims around the world fast from dawn to sunset. It's also a time of prayer, giving and self reflection. Eid is marked when Ramadan comes to an end. The Eid al-Fitr feast marks the breaking of the fast, which usually involves a lavish feasts, lights, decorations and gifts.
However, Muslims celebrate Eid at different times across the globe. This is because the end of Ramadan, and the start of Shawwal, the 10th month in the Islamic calendar, depends on the sighting of the crescent moon.
