Hi Lisa

Thanks for sharing the rituals you follow. It's no surprise that a lot of Christian traditions have their roots in pagan rituals, but great to have it explained in detail. The spiritual feelings you speak of sound reverential in themselves.

I know it involves not drinking or eating during sunlight hours (although I believe there are people who are given some leeway here - such as pregnant women or sick people or children?), but nothing much else. It starts in a couple of weeks and I thought I'd like to hear from Muslims, especially if you're observing Ramadan yourself. What does it involve for you? 'Scuse my ignorance!
