Is anyone else excited?

 

[mamagardener]

I am Catholic so I don't really know what Ramadan is, I do know it is a Muslim holy holiday. What happens during Ramadan?

 

[Lunachick]

Yes, I'd like to know more about it. Then we can be excited for you!

I would like to know. I'm a Christian but I wanna know what you guys do during Ramadan and what you go through. My friend did last year (?) and I was inspired by her.

We fast from sunrise to sunset every day for a month. you also aren't supposed to gossip, fight, yell, etc. for the entire month. It is basically all about improving yourself.

plus since you don't eat all day, it is a good excuse to eat basically anything deep fried.

It sounds like a wonderfully cleansing celebration.

Can you drink?

It sounds like a wonderful holiday.

I hope you enjoy your celebration this year.
