Color Outside the Lines celebrates Eid!

Hello! Welcome to COTL, a discussion place for BIPOC. Posted the first 3 Wednesdays of the month

Thread Rules

  1. We ask that only those who identify as people of color participate in this discussion. White Avocados, while valued members of this community, should remain in ‘lurk’ mode.
  2. Shaming and hateful speech are unacceptable.
  3. Please keep potentially traumatic content safely behind spoiler tags.
  4. Nobody on this thread is more or less a person of color than anyone else. (We will not set clearly delineated boundaries on who qualifies as a ‘person of color.’ As a starting point, this thread uses the definition of ‘non-European heritage of sufficient prominence to affect one’s navigation of a society built on white normativity.’ However, we recognize that there are identities which skirt either side of the divide. If people feel that they meaningfully experience the identity of being a person of color, then they are welcome to participate.)

Last week we celebrated the Hindu festival of Holi. Next CotL: the Jewish Passover (be sure to checkout the avocado online one in April). We’ll probably have an Easter one too, but this week I wanted to celebrate the Islamic festival of Eid that occurs in the next few days.

Eid Muburak

Eid 2026 falls on the evening of Thursday 19th March, continuing into Friday 20th March — though the exact date depends on the moon sighting. Eid al-Fitr, the Festival of Breaking the Fast, is celebrated by Muslims worldwide with prayer, feasting, gift-giving, and acts of charity to mark the joyful end of Ramadan.
