well Ramadan isnt really a holiday...but thats ok.. you were close.

its a holy month in the muslim calender. it consists of a month long fasting - refraining from food drink sex and smoking during daylight hours. this is coupled with additional religious duties including increased sacrifice, charity and prayers.

at the end of ramadan there is a holiday/festivities called Eid al Fitr that range between 1-5 days depending on where you are in the world commemorating the end of the holy month.

just a question to see if anyone here has any muslim friends neighbours or relatives?
