Eid in Auckland: 12,000 Muslims to gather at Eden Park to celebrate end of Ramadan

Ripu Bhatia Reporter from Central Leader

More than 12,000 Muslims are expected to gather to mark the end of Ramadan at New Zealand's largest stadium, Eden Park.

Eid, or Eid al Fitr, is one of two religious holidays celebrated by Muslims to mark the end of Ramadan, a month-long spiritual observation that began on the night of April 13.

The month is marked by fasting from sunrise to sunset, prayers, and spiritual reflection.
