Last weekend saw Muslims around the county celebrate Eid al-Fitr, so we decided to take a look back through our photo archives to see what some of the celebrations looked like closer to home a few years ago.

Eid al-Fitr is the earlier of the two official Islamic holidays, and is celebrated worldwide.

It marks the end of the month-long dawn-to-sunset fasting of Ramadan.

Eid al-Fitr celebrations typically involve a banquet as a fitting end to eating much less during Ramadan.

During Ramadan, Muslims aim to grow spiritually and build stronger relationships with Allah.

They do this by praying and reciting the Quran, making their actions intentional and selfless, and abstaining from gossiping, lying, and fighting.

Eid al-Fitr is often a huge celebration that brings family and friends together.

Here's to next year!
