Ramadan is the month on the Islamic lunar calendar during which Muslims abstain from food, drink and other sensual pleasures from break of dawn to sunset.
Many communities hold bazaars following the prayers.
The second holiday comes at the end of the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Mecca. Demographers say Islam is one of the fastest growing religions in this country and around the world. Prayers are held early in the morning. Ask local coordinators for exact dates and times. Call local community representatives for details.
