God's grace on Ramadan!

Our Muslim friends began celebrating the month-long holy time called Ramadan on August 11. During Ramadan Muslims fast during daylight hours. Observers replace satisfying physical appetites with reading the entire Quran throughout the 28 days. Each evening after sunset the fast is broken with festive meals shared with family and friends.

Lean more about Ramadan and how you can observe it on our interfaith page. “Ramadan mubarak!”
