This tradition of using the crescent moon started at the age when turks ruled. Yes it has significant meaning to us because we are on lunar calander. But not just for Ramadan.
The crescent just got attached to muslims and islam. And became some kind of a symbol. .
Thank you, Wafa - The crescent moon certainly has symbolic meaning in Islam. I think some people just have a problem with calling it a "symbol" of Islam for whatever reasons. I admit I'm always surprised when so many people have told me that it is NOT a symbol of Islam.
Fascinating, Susie. For sure I'd have thought it was a symbol of Islam...until I read this.
Very interesting and fascinating post and nice photo,Susie!
