Covid-19 has changed the way that Muslims around the world are celebrating this weekend with the end of Ramadan, a holy month of fasting and prayer.

This weekend is Eid al-Fitr, a festival that means the breaking of fast, normally a time of celebrations and going to the Mosque.

Most countries have now either cancelled or altered plans for their festivities, however, many have opted to taking their celebration into the virtual world.

With smaller, more intimate at home celebrations and a planned online greeting of “Eid Mubarek” (have a blessed holiday) trending on social media the spirit of the holiday lives strong.

There are an estimated 1.6 billion Muslims around the world, with many from African countries.
