Ramadan Mubarak! Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection and community. In 2023, it began over our spring break, on March 22 and continues through April 20th. Eid takes place at the end of Ramadan. The name "Eid al-Fitr" translates as "the festival of the breaking of the fast". Like the beginning of Ramadan, Eid begins with the first sighting of the new moon.
