Eid journey

`So as most people know it, eid is a muslim holiday that's come around 2 times a year. This year's eid was a little different because of covid. But i'm gonna get into that soon. So eid was on a friday and i started preparing for it on wednesday. On wednesday i went to get my henne done. For those who don't know what henna is, “Henna is a dye prepared from the plant Lawsonia inermis, also known as the henna tree, the mignonette tree, and the Egyptian privet, the sole species of the genus Lawsonia. Henna can also refer to the temporary body art resulting from the staining of the skin from the dyes”. Then on thursday the day before eid i fast because it was a good deed to. It was optional but I chose to fast. I also got my hair done that day. I went to my friend who does hair and she did my hair. The next day, which is Friday, was eid. Usually we go to morning prayer where there's hundreds of people. But because of corona they have to do multiple prayer times so we can all social distance. So after we prayed everybody took pictures and then we all went home. After I went home I went looking for a shirt I could wear to go with my outfit because I couldn't find any. After I found a shirt I went to my cousins house and she did my makeup. After I did my makeup me and my friends all went out to eat.
