Description
Description
Each of the major Islamic holidays, festivals, and special days includes unique traditions and customs. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims fast during the day. At the end of Ramadan, the festival of Eid al-Fitr is a celebration with feasts and acts of kindness. During Eid al-Adha, many Muslims pray together at sunrise and share special foods and gifts with family and friends. Clear text and vibrant photos help readers gain a greater understanding of these and other Islamic traditions.
Critical Reviews
Critical Reviews
Religions include many holy days and traditions. This series introduces readers to the festivals and traditions of the world's largest religions. Each book begins with information about the religion. The large, clear text explains how it started, the deities, holy texts, and primary beliefs. The following chapters each highlight a different holiday. The text includes the original reason for the holiday and how it is observed. Readers will learn about traditional foods, activities, and symbolism. The text highlights differences in customs depending on the location. The final chapter explores life events such as funerals and marriages. The pages are adorned with religious artwork and photos of festivities, food, and people. The back matter includes a glossary, an index, and a list of resources. VERDICT A simple, visually appealing series that celebrates diverse religious practices.--Cathy DeCampli, Haddonfield PL, NJ "School Library Journal"
