[File, Standard]Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i has gazetted Friday, May 14 as a public holiday to mark Idd-ul-Fitr. Idd-ul-Fitr, the festival of fast-breaking, is an important religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide that marks the end of Ramadhan, the Islamic holy month of fasting. The holiday celebrates the conclusion of the 29 or 30 days of dawn-to-sunset fasting during the entire month of Ramadhan. The proper response to Idd Mubarak is "Khair Mubarak", which wishes goodness on the person who has greeted you. This public holiday is mainly celebrated by Kenyan Muslims but it is observed nationally.
