Eid Mubarak !!

With the Eid (Forever) stamp, the U.S. Postal Service honors two of the most important festivals in the Islamic calendar: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. On these days, Muslims wish each other Eid mubarak, This new Eid stamp  released on the 12th August  features the Arabic phrase "Eid mubarak" in gold calligraphy on a reddish background. Eid mubarak translates literally as "blessed festival," and can be paraphrased "May your religious holiday be blessed." English text on the stamp reads "EID GREETINGS."
