Greetings and the two Eids
After your first print, open Eid words in bubble letters. Eid alone fills a sheet. Happy / Eid and Blessed / Eid give the greeting in English, Khair / Mubarak is the traditional reply in Urdu, Selamat / Hari Raya is the Malay greeting and Happy / Bayram the wish of children in Turkey. Eid / al-Fitr and Eid / al-Adha name the two festivals.
The night before and the day
Chaand / Raat, Moon / Sighting and Crescent / Moon head the evening before, and Mehndi or Henna its hand-decorating table. Eid / Party, Eid / Feast, Eid / Prayer and Eid / Cards are signs for the day, and Eidi labels the children's gifts. Sweet / Eid and Sugar / Feast are other names for Eid al-Fitr; with Ramadan they finish a board about it.
- Eid alone prints over two and a half times as tall as Eid above Mubarak; Eidi is the next tallest of the row.
- Chewy prints the greeting tallest of the three fonts and fills its four rings with black.
- One letter per page, under More options, makes a ten-sheet banner; the a comes twice.
Questions and answers
How do you draw Eid Mubarak in bubble letters?
Pencil Eid on one line and Mubarak under it, with wide gaps. Round every stroke into a fat outline, keep a ring in the d, the b and both a's, dot the i, then rub out the pencil and color.
What does Eid Mubarak mean?
Blessed feast, or blessed festival; the phrase is Arabic. It is the greeting for both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, wherever Muslims celebrate them.
What is the difference between Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha?
Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of Breaking the Fast, marks the end of the fasting month of Ramadan. Eid al-Adha, the Feast of the Sacrifice, falls on the tenth day of the last month of the Islamic calendar.
When is Eid?
The dates move. Eid al-Fitr falls on the first day of Shawwal, the tenth month of the Islamic calendar. That calendar is lunar, so on the Gregorian calendar the day comes about 11 days earlier each year.
What is Chaand Raat?
The night of the moon: in South Asia, the evening before Eid al-Fitr, when families and friends gather to spot the new moon. Women and girls decorate their hands with mehndi, which is henna.
