RAMADAN

Ramadan, in Islam, the ninth month of the Muslim calendar and the holy month of fasting It begins and ends with the appearance of the crescent moon Because the Muslim calendar year is shorter than the Gregorian calendar year, Ramadan begins 10–12 days earlier each year, allowing it to fall in every season throughout a 33-year cycle.

Islamic tradition states that it was during Ramadan, on the “Night of Power” (Laylat al-Qadr) commemorated on one of the last 10 nights of Ramadan, usually the 27th night—that God revealed to the Prophet Muhammad the Qurʾān, Islam’s holy book, “as a guidance for the people ” For Muslims, Ramadan is a period of introspection, communal prayer (ṣalāt) in the mosque, and reading of the Qurʾān. God forgives the past sins of those who observe the holy month with fasting, prayer, and faithful intention.

HOLI

Holi has been celebrated in the Indian subcontinent for c with poems documenting celebrations dating back to the century CE. It marks the beginning of spring after a long w symbolic of the triumph of good over evil. It is celebrated corresponding to the Hindu calendar month of Phalguna. Holi begins March 25th.

There are varying accounts of Holi’s origin mentioned in several works of ancient Indian literature. According to one popular version of the story, an evil king became so powerful that he forced his subjects to worship him as their god. But to the king’s ire, his son Prahlada continued to be an ardent devotee of the Hindu deity Lord Vishnu The angry king plotted with his sister, Holika, to kill his son Holika, who was immune to fire, tricked Prahlada to sit in a pyre with her When the pyre was lit, the boy’s devotion to Lord Vishnu helped him walk away unscathed while Holika, from whom the festival derives its name, was burned to death despite her immunity
