Empire State Building Glows Green for Muslim Holiday

The Empire State Building goes green on July 17, 2015 in New York City to celebrate the Eid, Muslim holiday, that marks the end of Ramadan

Eid marks the start of a three-day holiday, that comes after the holy month of Ramadan, as Muslims exchange gifts, prepare special food and visit family and friends. 

The Empire State Building famously shines specific colors for a number of religious holidays -- pastel shades for Easter, blue and white for Hanukkah, and red and green for Christmas. It has also marked a number of events, including World Oceans Day on June 8, where the building turns blue, white and purple.
