Easter Monday

Easter is regarded as the most important holy day by Christians, and in Réunion it is celebrated with a holiday on Easter Monday. The date of the holiday changes each year based on the centuries-old calculations that determine the Christian Ecclesiastical Calendar, such that the date of Easter Sunday can be anytime between 22 March and 25 April. Réunion, as an overseas department of France, celebrates mostly the same holidays as does mainland France, including Easter Monday. Also, the majority of the population is Christian and would want to observe Easter anyway. Réunion is a major destination for tourists, including during Easter Week, and the locals are quick to be festive this time of year too. Easter egg painting and egg hunts, midnight masses, large family feasts, and plenty of boisterous parties mark the season. Many take the opportunity around Eastertime to hike up to the rim of the island’s active volcano, Piton de la Fournaise. Others go mountain biking, visit the beach, go whale or dolphin watching, or see the abundant and diverse sea life at the Réunion Aquarium.

Eid al-Adha

The largely Muslim land of Mauritania takes celebration of Eid al-Adha very seriously. A two-day public holiday is observed each year as part of the festivities. In 2026, Eid al-Adha falls on Wednesday 27 May. The holiday will be on Monday 17 May in 2027. A special government moon-sighting committee announces the first day of the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah every year, which then sets the date for Eid al-Adha on the tenth day of that month. And the celebration continues for four days from the tenth to the fourteenth of Dhu al-Hijjah. The first order of business for Muslims on Eid al-Adha is to put on their best clothes and head to mosque in early morning. There they learn about Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail to Allah. Then they head home to slaughter an animal, share part of it with the poor, and then feast and celebrate all day with family and friends.

There are many events for kids and adults alike all over the island, and there are many special luncheons at hotels and restaurants as well as fireworks shows. Most Muslims will go to mosque, sacrifice an animal for the feast if they can afford it, put on their best clothes, visit friends and relatives, and spend a lot of time with family at home.

Eid al-Fitr

One of the most important holidays in Algeria and many other Islamic countries is Eid al-Fitr. Eid al-Fitr means “festivity of breaking of the fast”, and it comes at the end of the long fasting and prayer month of Ramadan on the first day of the month Shawwal. In 2027, Eid al-Fitr falls on Tuesday 9 March. The holiday will be on Saturday 26 February in 2028. During Eid, Algerians attend a local mosque for prayers and a sermon. They will also give an offering to charity, usually in the form of food, called the “zakat al-Fitr”. As in many other lands, Algerians buy and wear new clothing for Eid al-Fitr, and the wearing of traditional cultural clothing has become popular again in recent years. At home, people will indulge in large feasts, which are quite welcome after the long fast. chick peas couscous pasta, beef, sea food, vegetables, and fruits, are all consumed at family feasts. Many will also exchange gifts and cards and, of course, greet each other with “Happy Eid!” this time of year.
