After a month of fasting from dawn until dusk, Muslims around the world kicked off the traditional Eid al-Fitr festival Monday.
During the three-day celebration, which changes date annually depending on the phase of the moon, Muslim families eat and pray together to mark the end of the monthlong Ramadan fast.
Ramadan, which this year began June 28, is a period of self-restraint and reflection. Muslims abstain from food, drink and other physical needs during daylight hours, and then break the fast after sunset with prayer and an evening meal.
