What this day is

The month of fasting in Islam. Its start depends on the lunar calendar and on sighting the moon, so the date differs by a day between countries. The Islamic year is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian one, so Ramadan drifts through the seasons.

The date is approximate

The holiday follows the lunar calendar and is confirmed by sighting the moon, so the date differs by a day between countries. Check with your own community calendar.
