Virginia Avenue in Parkchester was closed for Eid al Fitr Sunday as Muslims prayed outside of Parkchester Jame Masjid.

Eid is an Islamic holiday marking the end of Ramadan, the month when devout Muslims fast daily from dawn to sunset. Ramadan is a time for increased worship, charity and good deeds. It also typically sees festive gatherings to break the fast.

For many Muslims, the day usually begins with morning service followed by meals and conversation with family.

NYC public schools will be closed and alternate side of the street parking will be suspended on Monday to observe the holiday.
