Ramadan
Interfaith & Cultural Holidays
Ramadan is an occasion to focus on faith through fasting and prayer, and is one of the most important Muslim holidays. Ramadan is notable because the Qur’an was first revealed during this month, and Muslims see the Qur’an as the ultimate form of guidance for mankind. The night that the Qur’an was revealed to Muhammad is called Lailat ul Oadr, and standing in prayer this one night is thought to eclipse months of worship. Fasting is required during the entire month of Ramadan. Muslims refrain from food and beverages during the daylight hours, and smoking and sexual relations are forbidden. Worshippers break the fasting each night with prayer, reading of the Qu’ran, and a meal called the iftar. In addition, many Muslims also attend night prayers at Mosques. Muslims believe that their good actions bring a greater reward during this month than any other time of the year, so many try to give up bad habits during Ramadan.

Purim commemorates the time when the Jews were living in Persia and were saved from genocide by the courage of a young Jewish woman named Esther. Many Jews hold carnival-like celebrations on Purim, dressing in costumes, and reading the Book of Esther. Triangular fruit-filled pastries called hamantaschen are traditionally eaten in opposition to the story's villain Haman, who wore a three-cornered hat.
Recognized by: Jewish
