OurWorld - Ramadan Serving Dishes


Ramadan will be starting soon, and there are hints of its arrival all over.  Ramadan is Islam's holy month when Muslims fast during the day.  Over the years, Ramadan seems to have become more commercialized, much like Christmas has in the west, with Ramadan themed dishes, lighting, decorations, and other items available.


Here are a few of the crescent moon shaped serving dishes I saw recently at Al Nawras Housewares Shop at Shatie Souk.  The crescent moon is significant for Ramadan in that its sighting marks the beginning and then also the end of the Ramadan season.
