Proclamation Recognizing Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr
March 22-April 21, 2023
|
|
Cedar Park is enriched and strengthened by many varied cultural traditions of our diverse population, including many members of the Muslim faith. Cedar Park City Council recognized Ramadan and the upcoming Eid Al-Fitr at the April 13, 2023 City Council Meeting.
Ramadan is considered by Muslims the most holy month of the year and marks a special time of family connection and spiritual reflection. Muslims around the world observe the month by fasting each day from sunrise to sunset and performing acts of charity for the poor, sick and hungry. The end of Ramadan is commemorated by the Eid al-Fitr festival of breaking the fast. It's a joyous occasion marked by sharing sweets, gifts and good tidings with family, friends and neighbors.
Mayor Jim and the Cedar Park City Council wish our Muslim neighbors a very joyous and meaningful Ramadan and Eid Al-Fitr.
