Morocco celebrates Id Al Fitr, (marking the end of the Holy month of Ramadan)today.
According to the Habous (Endowment) and Islamic Affairs ministry religious and government authorities spotted the rise of the lunar crescent on Friday night, which makes today the last day of the holy month of Ramadan and Saturday the first day of Shawwal.
The Islamic months are calculated according to the cyclic rise of the moon that occurs on the 29th or the 30th night of the month. The nations inthe far East usually celebrate the Id a day earlier than the ones in the West due to the calculation system.
