[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What obligations do people who observe Eid have to do on the day? Are they not allowed to work that day? It’s crazy to me that FCPS gives Diwali off because most festivities are in the evening and people are perfectly capable of going to work or school on Diwali. Wondering what’s required on Eid.[/quote]

Looks like similar to Christmas, you want FCPS to give five days off for Diwali.

"Diwali is celebrated over five days.
DAY ONE: People clean their homes and shop for gold or kitchen utensils to help bring good fortune.
DAY TWO: People decorate their homes with clay lamps and create design patterns called rangoli on the floor using colored powders or sand.
DAY THREE: On the main day of the festival, families gather together for Lakshmi puja, a prayer to Goddess Lakshmi, followed by mouth-watering feasts and firework festivities.
DAY FOUR: This is the first day of the new year, when friends and relatives visit with gifts and best wishes for the season.
DAY FIVE: Brothers visit their married sisters, who welcome them with love and a lavish meal"
