Ramadan Mubarak

Ramadan is the ninth month on the Islamic calendar and one of its holiest times as it marks a four-week period of fasting that Muslims worldwide take part in. In 2020, researchers at PEW estimated that there were roughly 1.9 billion followers of Islam so Ramadan is indeed a special occasion for many people.

Ramadan does not fall on the same date every year so here is when Ramadan falls in 2023, how that date is calculated, and what the traditions are behind this sacred Islamic event.
