Ready for Ramadan


Ramadan starts soon and the supermarkets and malls are gearing up for the mad rush.  The mall shop windows are decorated and express their Ramadan Greetings.  Colors of choice seem to tend toward gold and blue, although there is no particular color theme (like Christmas tends toward red and green) that I am aware of for the holiest of Islamic months.  


The crescent moon is an important symbol for the month of Ramadan, as its sighting marks both the beginning and the end of the monthlong observance.
