 "Tis the Season of Sacrifice"
Tis' that time of the year. But there won't be fine dining . Instead the season will be marked by self-purification and soul-searching in a twelve-hour fasting per day. This significant event in the Muslim world and most important month in the Islamic calendar, Ramadhan, will be marked by the sighting of the full moon starting tomorrow Saturday. If sighted, religious leaders across the Muslim world, will announce the start of the fast, marked by a ritual of bathing or "rigo." The bathe is significant as it will signify one's intention of observing one of the most important pillars of Islam. |
