With a design that evokes centuries of tradition, this Eid Greetings stamp, featuring gold calligraphy and an olive branch,commemorates the two most important festivals–or eids–in the Islamic calendar: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. On these days,Muslims wish each other Eidukum mubarak, the phrase shown in Islamic calligraphy on the stamp. Eidukum mubarak translatesliterally as "May your Eid be bountiful (or blessed)." a phrase that can be applied to both Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

The calligraphy on previous Eid stamps issued by the U.S. Postal Service® has read Eid mubarak, "may the religious holiday beblessed," with the "your" implied, but this new stamp includes the word "your" to give the text more body within a horizontalframe. The stvlized olive branch carries connotations of abundance. family, hospitalíity, and peace. The background color is purple.
