Eid al-Fitr, the festival of breaking the fast, ends Ramadan on the first day of Shawwal, when the new crescent is seen - so it can differ by a day between countries. It begins with special morning prayers and is a day of new clothes, family visits, sweets and gifts, once zakat al-fitr, a gift to the poor, has been given.
