The holy month of Ramadan begins this week and will be observed by millions of Muslims around the world including here in Northern Ireland through a month of fasting.
For many Muslims around the world it is the most anticipated time of year. The exact dates of Ramadan change every year as the Islamic calendar is based on lunar cycles.
This year in the UK, Ramadan will start this Wednesday evening, March 22 and end 30 days later on Friday, April 21, from one sighting of the crescent moon to the next.
