A blessed Eid Banquet event

March 20th 7pm

Ramadan is a special month for those who believe in Islam. However, it doesn't mean that non-Muslims are not welcome to experience and learn more about it. It is a month full of hope, happiness, and, most importantly, helping one another. Helping the poor is also an important part of this month.

As the month of Ramadan came to an end, the grand celebration of Eid began. A day full of joy, gifts and gatherings with friends and family. This year, Beauxbatons was also arranging a blessed Eid Banquet. All students and adults were invited to attend this event, share their achievements, and try new food.

The ballroom was decorated with lanterns and soft, glowing lights. The atmosphere was filled with happiness and peace. Tables were filled with different types of food, traditional in different parts of the world, along with a variety of drinks. Nasi impit, made of compressed cooked rice cut in the shape of cubes with a peanut dipping sauce; semai, made of pasta, milk, sugar, cardamom, and nuts, with a creamy and sweet taste; and biscuits with faint lemon flavor were just some of the exotic dishes introduced today. The only restriction was that anything containing pork was absent. The air was filled with the aroma of cardamom and nuts.

For drinks, there were tamarind drink, different juices and lemonades, with no alcohol served. The glasses were shaped like lanterns, adding to the beautiful holiday atmosphere.

Although the main purpose of the event was just to eat, drink, chat, and enjoy the moment, it was also an opportunity to exchange gifts and share good wishes with friends and staff. Eid Mubarak was a common greeting during the blessed Eid Banquet. Laughter and different stories shared by staff and students made the ballroom a lively place. Exchanging gifts was a way to express the gratitude and good wishes, especially for those who found it easier to express their feelings through actions rather than words.

Welcome to the blessed Eid Banquet! Today, students and adults are here to unite and enjoy the moment. Try new things, share your achievements, and be kind to each other! There's a tradition to gather with friends and family in this day. So let's use this opportunity to grow closer and happier. Eid Mubarak! A short speech was given by Célestine as a welcome, encouraging everyone to reflect on how much had happened during the month of Ramadan.

Kindness, forgiveness, and closeness are important not only during Ramadan but also in daily life. Hopefully, after this month, students and adults have learned something new and will carry it forever in their hearts.
