Audience
The Asian and Pacific Islander American Club (APAC), Students for Justice, and the SMCM Asian Studies Program invite the campus community to join us for food, fun, and reflection as we celebrate Eid!
Eid al-Fitr is an Islamic holiday that marks the end of Ramadan, revered among Muslims as the holy month during which the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) started receiving the revelations which were later collected in the Qur'an. During Ramadan many Muslims fast from sunrise to sunset, and focus on compassion, self-restraint, and collective worship. At the end of the month Muslims observe a joyous celebration with family and friends.
All are welcome! Our celebration of Eid is non-denominational and will feature sweets and snacks, henna, music, and dancing. Join us in the joy of sharing time together!
This year we will be featuring Turkish dinner dishes in addition to traditional Eid sweets and snacks.
Date & Time: Friday, April 4, 6:00 - 7:30 p.m.
Place: Daugherty Palmer Commons
Our Eid-al-Fitr reception occurs shortly after the Kardelen Turkish Dance Performance (4:30 p.m. at St. Mary's Hall).
Many thanks to the Office of Multicultural Programming & IDEAA (Inclusive Diversity, Access & Accountability) and the Student Government Association for their generous support!
