Commemorating the revelation of the sacred Muslim text, the Quran, Ramadan is a time for Muslims to revitalize their spiritual lives. For one month, Muslims are required to fast during daylight hours, and to abstain from certain behaviors, such as lying or smoking. The end of Ramadan is celebrated in a three-day festival called Eid al-Fitr, a time for friends and families to get together, make amends, and extend forgiveness. This book describes the various customs and traditions of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr celebrations around the world and how social and political influences have shaped these observances. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (page 93) and index. 650 0 $a Ramadan $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Fasts and feasts $v Juvenile literature. 650 0 $a Islam $v Juvenile literature. 655 7 $a Religion & Spirituality. $2 local 655 7 $a Children's Nonfiction. $2 local 800 1 $a Richardson, Betsy. $t Celebrating holidays & festivals around the world. 941 $a 3 952 $l GYPE631 $d 20240626015020.0 952 $l CDPC522 $d 20220709010232.0 952 $l S1PD771 $d 20190131010140.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DDA64376252511E99659613B97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
