The First Day of Ramadan

Today is the first day of Ramadan. I busted open the first window on my Ramadan Chocolate Countdown Calendar. I sent a photo of my first little chocolate. Today's question was: "When does the fast start?"
For you see, Muslims are required to refrain from eating and drinking during the holy month of Ramadan, the ninth month on the lunar calendar. After dark they are allowed to break their fast and many do it in the traditional way, after the prophet Muhammed: three dates and some water.

There are many Muslims all around the world, but in a country such as this one, where Islam has played an important role in shaping the state's laws, these traditions are a prominent part of everyday life. No food or drink is permitted to be consumed in public during the daylight hours. The police would stop you if they caught you doing so.

P.S. The answer to the question, "When does the fast start?":
"Sunrise (white thread of light)" Remember the little chocolate sun.
