30. Eid means "holiday"; there are several

عيد, for those of you with Unicode-aware browsers, is roughly equivalent to "-fest" or "-mas" in English, and just like we have Michelmas and Whitsunmas and Christmas and Octoberfest, there are several عيد as well (I would put that in plural but I can't get the little circle with two dots to work). Sunday is the Eid that's for Abraham.
