My Eid al-Fitr Experience

 

 1 month ago was the month of Ramadhan 1444 H and I was so excited. As usual, I woke up early to get myself ready for Eid prayer that would be started at 06.00 am. I did the dawn prayer, took bath, and had a bit breakfast before went to the mosque.

   I went back to home at 07.00 am. After the Eid prayer and sermon had done. At home, my big family always does a javanese tradition that's called sungkeman to honor the elders. The younger members of my family kneeled down and pressed their face to the elders' knee, on by one. After that procession had ended, we had brunch of a great feast for all family members. There were cakes, cookies, and opor. My favorite one was the opor which was made by my aunt. The opor was so delicious. I love it very much, when our energy had been refilled, we continued to visit our neighbors, close friends, and some relatives.

  This Eid el Fitr celebration day was so exciting for me because there were many happy things I did together with all my family. I hope I can celebrate the next Eid al-Fitr with my big family again.
