Celebration

Since we organize a number of popular community events, such as the Eid and Nowruz gatherings.

For example, in the month leading up to Eid, people start getting ready by cleaning their homes, washing the couches, rugs, and curtains. They also cook different sweets and pastries and buy dry fruits for the guests who will be visiting their home for Eid Mubarak.

All of the girls gather the day before Eid to apply henna to each other's hands.

On the morning of Eid, we put on our new clothes, apply cosmetics and fragrance, and then attend Eid prayers at the Masjid. And we all come together and say Eid Mubarak to all as younger should go to elders and say Eid Mubarak.

I remember from childhood that on Eid days, after prayers, I would often go to my father, brother, and uncles to receive money as an Eid gift, and was excited with the money they gave me, which I used to buy snacks and toys for my friends and myself.
