One of the visitors Nur voiced her hopes for life after the holy month.
"My hope for this Eid is that the connection with my family members and siblings will continue. Although there may be people who I rarely meet now, this Eid is an opportunity to sustain the relationship again," Nur stated when met here on Thursday.
Fauzi, another visitor, hoped to have the opportunity to go home to his hometown in Pekalongan, Central Java. He admitted that he had not returned home for two years.
"I am a migrant worker who has not returned home for a long time. Hopefully, next year, there will be a chance," he stated.
Meanwhile, another visitor named Eka interpreted Eid al-Fitr as the beginning of a new chapter after the holy month of Ramadan.
She expressed hope that the community would always be blessed with peace, considering that Indonesia had gone through the democratic event of the 2024 General Election.
"May all be blessed with health, and the important thing is to remain peaceful because we just had the election. We do not want to be tense anymore," she stated.
