'Eid' means Festivity in Arabic. Eid marks the the sighting of the Crescent moon and the end of a month's long fast. Ramadhan marks the 9th month of the Calendar. It is a moment to be intimate with God, a time to observe a kind of Penance or atonement.
Judaism has a similar practise called Yom Kippur, which marks a day of fasting, atonement and penance.
