Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
It is sunnah to fast six days in Shawwal. Thawban (r) relates that the Prophet (s) said, “Whoever fasts Ramadan, and then six days after Eid, it is like fasting an entire year. Whoever does a good deed shall have ten times its reward.”
(ibn Majah)
That special day is six days after the first day of Eid (i.e. seventh day of Shawwal).
