Eid al-Fitr 2013

On Thursday we celebrated the end of the fasting during Ramadan in a day that in Kosovo we call it Bajram. We have had many visits from relatives, some we went to visit. It was great to see all and have some time together with friends and family. Some of them we do not get to see very often, which makes this a special occasion. All this is followed by high temperatures in Prishtina :) it makes going out harder, so we mostly stay indoors.

Having finished a month of fasting for me it brings a sense of calmness in the body and mind, its like giving a small contribution to myself, to my devotion to religion. But most importantly, for me its like a learning session! Every year I get a different feeling from fasting and praying in Ramadan. Its a bit hard to describe feelings beliefs in a foreign language but I am trying :)

Though the benefits of fasting may be many but its main intent is to adore God, not that He needs it but we do!

In the end, I pray that have all have a very peaceful year.

Tung.
