Tens of millions of Indonesians mark end of Ramadan

Jakarta - Tens of millions of Indonesian Muslims marked the end of Ramadan on Tuesday with religious services, community gatherings and street parades. While some Muslims began Eid al-Fitr, the post-Ramadan holiday, a day earlier on Monday, the majority of followers in the world's largest Muslim-majority nation followed dates set by the government and fasted an additional day. President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono and his family greeted well-wishers, including members of the public who waited in line, at the Presidential Palace after morning prayers, according to the Jakarta-based Metro TV. The country is in the midst of a week-long national holiday that has seen tens of millions of people leave cities across the country to return to their home provinces. © 2006 dpa - Deutsche Presse-Agentur
