Eid is a Muslim holiday which falls on 1 Syawal on Islamic calendar. Because the determination based on 1 Syawal circulation months, Eid or Hari Raya Puasa falls on different dates each year different when seen from the calendar AD. How to determine 1 Syawal also varied, so there might be some Muslims who celebrate on a different CE. On 1 Shawwal, Muslims gathered in the morning and held Eid prayer together in the mosques, in the field, or even the road (especially in big cities) if the area of worship is not enough to accommodate pilgrims.

Idul Fitri is back on a purely humanitarian instincts, back on the straight diversity, and the return of all the rotten practices in violation of the human soul that is still sacred. Back from all worldly interests that are not Islamic. This is the meaning of the original Eid.

It is a big mistake if the Idul Fitri celebration meant a return to `freedom` to eat and drink so that was forbidden to eat lunch, after the presence of Eid will be revenge., Or interpreted as a return of freedom sinner who was banned and left. Then, because Ramadan is over the disobedience re-crowded crowded encouraged. In summary, the error eventually led to a phenomenon of seasonal pious people, not people who try to defend the value kefitrian and piety.
