Today, Muslims around the world are marking the end of the Islamic holy month of Ramadan and celebrating the holiday of Eid al-Fitr.

After a month of fasting from dawn to sunset – as well as greater focus on worship, charity, and good deeds – Eid al-Fitr literally means the feast, or festival, of breaking the fast.

Traditionally, Eid al-Fitr, often referred to as 'Eid', is a three-day feast but can be longer or shorter depending on the country. It's a time for friends, family and giving thanks to God.

However, this year,the ongoing six-month conflict in Gaza has cast a somber shadow over the celebrations for many.Here's a photo gallery, showing how Muslims have marked Eid around the globe, across Europe and beyond.
