Tomorrow, Muslims are celebrating Ramadan Bayram, one of the two most significant Islamic holidays. Ramadan Bayram marks the end of fasting, and the days of joy will ensue – the Days of Bayram. The first day of Ramadan Bayram begins with Morning Prayer called Bayram-Namaz. Public festivities are also organised, and people exchange gifts and visits. Ramadan Bayram is always on the 1st day of Shawwal (the tenth month of Muslim calendar) and lasts for three days, and the believers consider it to be “the Holiday of the passed test”.
