Eid al-Fitr, which means “festival of breaking the fast,” is one of the most important holidays in the Muslim calendar. “It’s one of the most significant celebrations in Islam,” said Kader Bouazza, president of the Regional Council of the Muslim Faith for the Poitou-Charentes region area of western France and rector of the Angoulême Mosque, in a 2021 interview with La Croix. This day marks the conclusion of the fasting observed throughout Ramadan, which began this year on March 1.
