Eid al-Fitr 2020: How was Eid different this year?

Muslims across the UK celebrated Eid al-Fitr. this weekend.

The festival marks the end of Ramadan, a holy month where Muslims won't eat or drink between dawn and sunset, a practice known as fasting.

Fasting is important for Muslims during Ramadan as it allows them to devote themselves to their faith and come closer to Allah, or God.

Things were a bit different this year due to the coronavirus lockdown. Traditionally, the festival is marked with prayers in mosques and visits to friends and family.

But with the the social distancing rules in place this couldn't be done. Families still celebrated at home and found ways to enjoy the festival together.
