Eid al-Fitr falls on the first day of the tenth month of the Islamic lunar calendar; Eid al-Adha falls on the tenth day of the twelfth month
-
Both holidays shift by approximately 10-11 days each year due to the lunar-cycle based Islamic calendar

These days are designated as recognized days only, not legal holidays—meaning state employees do not receive paid time off for them
