There are two holidays (''[[Muslim holidays|Eid]]s'') in the [[Islamic calendar]]: ''[[Eid al-Fitr|ʿĪd al-Fiṭr]]'' and ''[[Eid al-Adha|ʿĪd al-Aḍḥā]]'', during which there are special prayers held at mosques in the morning. These [[Salat al Eid|Eid prayers]] are supposed to be offered in large groups, and so, in the absence of an outdoor ''[[Eidgah]]'', a large mosque will normally host them for their congregants as well as the congregants of smaller local mosques. Some mosques will even rent [[convention center]]s or other large public buildings to hold the large number of Muslims who attend. Mosques, especially those in countries where Muslims are the majority, will also host Eid prayers outside in courtyards, [[town square]]s or on the outskirts of town in an ''Eidgah''.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/pillars/prayer/Eid-Prayers_1.html |access-date=April 8, 2006 |title='Id Prayers (Salatul 'Idain) |publisher=University of Southern California |website=Compendium of Muslim Texts |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20051223214532/http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/pillars/prayer/Eid-Prayers_1.html |archive-date=December 23, 2005 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.central-mosque.com/fiqh/eidgah.htm|title=Performance of Eid Salah in Eidgah (Open Field)|website=www.central-mosque.com|access-date=2012-02-01|archive-date=2016-03-15|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160315102007/http://www.central-mosque.com/fiqh/eidgah.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>
