Religious public holidays are mainly based on Christianity and Islamic religions. Islamic religions celebrate Eid al-Fitr which marks the end of Ramadan. The holiday is marked with much of feasting and giving out gifts. Muslims celebrate Eid AL- Adha too, to commemorate Abraham's willingness to sacrifice his son. Christians observe Good Friday, Easter and Christmas.
Lebanon celebrates Independence Day as one of the most National celebrations. Entertainments of different kinds often grace the day. Military parades, cultural songs, and traditional concerts are the order of the day. The day is seen as a symbol of unity and cohesion in the Lebanon nation.
