The “Meet the Holidays: Eid ul Fitr” celebration continues on Sunday, and children can listen to the story “Under the Ramadan Moon” by Sylvia Whitman before making a moon and star stencil. The New Moon marks Eid ul Fitr, the celebration that takes place on the first day of the month after Ramadan, and marks the end of the month of fasting.
