Twisting and turning, Turki Alturki, from Saudi Arabia, tries to line up a photograph with his cell phone as local Muslims celebrate Eid al-Fitr, the celebration of the breaking of the fast marking the end of Ramadan at the Tucson Convention Center. Ramadan is where the faithful observe a month of fasting from dawn to dusk and it is one of the Five Pillars of Islam.

The Islamic Center of Tucson will host an Eid al-Fitr gathering at the Tucson Convention Center, 260 S. Church Ave. beginning at 8:30 a.m. Sunday, June 25.

Prayers begin at 9 a.m.

Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, a month of fasting for Muslims.

Attendees should bring their own prayer rug and anticipate a $10 parking fee, according to the center's newsletter.
