I do know that the meal to break the fast is supposedly one fit for kings, wwh. Beyond that, my knowledge of the actual festivites is rather limited. And AnnaS, I started out with Eid but changed it to Id, since most people from the Middle East write it without the E and they must have the better handle on it. However, having heard it pronounced in Arabic, Urdu, Farsi,... I do believe the E captures a certain tone that 'Id' does not. Ramadan is most certainly the Anglicised form; very Kipling-esque! But like I said, I don't know enough about this to write more, shall wait to hear other responses.
