Eid al-Adha (celebrated on March 6 in 2001) marks the end of the hajj, the annual period designated for Muslims to make their pilgrimage to Mecca. Eid al-Fitr (celebrated on Dec. 16 in 2001) celebrates the end of the Ramadan fast.

Eid mubarak translates as "blessed festival," and can be paraphrased, "May your religious holiday be blessed."]
