Thanks to COVID-19, Eid in Lewiston will be a quieter public event

Prayer, which in non-pandemic years takes place in large gathering places like The Colisee, will instead happen at the Longley School gym, socially distanced.

Lewiston first in state to close schools Thursday for Eid

School superintendent says at least 40% of the city's 5,000-plus students are from immigrant families, most of them Muslims.
