Hari Raya Idul Fitri 1 Syawal 1428 Hijriah /INDONESIA

INDONESIA: Idul Fitri: This is the biggest day for all Moslems in Indonesia.
This celebration is held on 1 Syawal (according to the Moslem calendar).
The day is celebrated at the end of Ramadhan as the victory day of the Moslems during the fasting month.
People celebrate Idul Fitri by going to the mosque for a prayer. After the prayer, people go from house to house in their neighborhood to ask for their forgiveness. Some very special food is prepared for this big day. This is also the day where people are coming home to their hometown to see their relatives and old friends. The celebration lasts more than a day.
