Eid al-Fitr (feast of breaking fast) is celebrated once Ramadan has commenced. Eid typically lasts three days and is announced worldwide once the new moon has been witnessed. On Eid day, the families will typically attend prayer at their local mosque and celebrate with family and friends afterwards. Rich entrees such as samosas, biryani, and desserts like kheer (rice pudding) are made to celebrate Eid. The elders will give money to the younger generations as a gift for completing the month of Ramadan.
Two Ascend members, Sadaf and Mukti, shared how they celebrated Eid this year.

Sadaf's family rose early and dressed in new outfits for prayer. Afterwards, family and friends gathered to eat delicious food and enjoy time together.
Mukti celebrated Eid by having a big feast with family members. In addition to endless amounts of sweet and savory foods, everyone took tons of pictures to capture the memories made after a year apart!#eidmubarak

Know History, Know Self. No History, No Self. Our local histories can teach us a great deal about our communities today. Join us to hear stories of Asian American history and activism in the DC, Maryland, and Virginia (DMV) area—from the rise and fall of DC Chinatown, student activism that demanded Asian American studies at the University of Maryland, and intersections with other social movements. Local Asian American community leaders and advocates will share their stories of fighting to be heard and seen, and how their work continues today. Given the broad array of experiences in the Asian American community, we will also invite audience members to share their own personal stories and histories. Come together with us as we learn how we can all do our part in serving and uplifting Asian American communities in the DMV now. #aapi #aapiheritagemonth #asianexcellence #proudasian #stopasianhate
