Muslims all over the world are celebrating the vacation of Eid al Fitr. 

After the Ramadan month of fasting, Muslims rejoice Eid al Fitr with a day of prayers, feasts and household visits.

Capital cities together with Damascus, Baghdad and Beirut had been crowded with worshippers heading to mosques and cemeteries.

Many Muslims go to the graves of their family members after the early morning prayer on the primary day of Eid al Fitr.

Visitors deliver bouquets of flowers, jugs of water for crops and brooms to scrub gravestones.

"After the Eid prayer we always visit our dead... to pray and pay our respects, may God have mercy and forgive them on this blessed day," stated Atheer Mohamed in Baghdad's Azamiya cemetery.

Islam's holidays comply with a lunar calendar.

But some international locations depend on astronomical calculations fairly than bodily sightings.

This often results in disagreements between spiritual authorities in several international locations - and generally in the identical nation - over the beginning date of Eid al Fitr.
