The tenth, eleventh and twelfth days of Zilhicce Month is called 'Eyyรขm-ฤฑ Nahr' (Cut Days) and the ninth day of Zilhicce, which was the previous day.Since the Hijri calendar is a month calendar, the years are shorter than the sun-based Gregorian calendar. For this reason, the Eid al-Adha is celebrated 11-12 days earlier each year. Every 33 years corresponds to the same dates.
Ramadan Feast
Eid al-Fitr: Eid is known by this name because it is celebrated at the end of the month of Ramadan. The word Ramadan comes from the Arabic word ramaแธ ("dry hot"). The reason for this is probably that it corresponded to the summer months when Ramadan fasting was first practiced.
Candy Feast: It has been translated into Turkish from the name "Iyd-ฤฑ Fฤฑtฤฑr", which was the name of the feast in the Ottoman period. Iyd means feast. Fitr, which means "breaking the fast", is a charity known as "fitr alms" or "fitre", which is obligatory for rich Muslims to give to the poor, provided that it is not left until after Eid. Also known as "Thanksgiving". According to one claim, this word "thank you" turned into "sugar" over time. According to another claim, the name Sugar Feast is based on the tradition of starting Ramadan Feast by eating dates and sweets.
