🥳 Eid al-Fitr Mubarak! 🫂
An image of Eid al-Fitr greeting that is warm toned with yellow and orange hives. Geometric shapes border the edges, and a silhouette of a mosque is at the centre-bottom. There are four dangling lanterns at the top, two on each side. At the top-centre is a waning crescent and star (symbol for Islam). In large serif font, the greeting reads, “Eid al-Fitr Mubarak!” Below that is a message: “May this auspicious day bring peace, joy, and prosperity to you and your loved ones!”
