Stillwater residents and Oklahoma State University students gathered with the Islamic Society of Stillwater to celebrate Eid al-Fitr. Signifying the conclusion of Ramadan fasting, Muslims observe the multi day holiday with feasts and prayer. The morning congregation and a continental breakfast with more than 300 people in attendance marked the beginning of the feast day, which ended with games throughout the center. Since the holiday is never fixed to specific days of the year and based on the lunar calendar, children got excused absences from school so they could join Friday's celebration.
