Breaking the Fast of Ramadan: When Spirits Bond (at Open Spirit)
June 20th, 2016 from 7:30-9:30pm. *** Open Spirit is hosting our second annual Fast-Breaking meal on the longest day of Ramadan, which is the summer solstice. During this month of Ramadan (this year from June 5 to July 4), Muslims fast each day from dawn to dusk. When the sun sets, they break their fast, often together, sharing the joy of community. The evening breaking of the fast is often called an Iftar. As an expression of interfaith friendship, and as part of our on-going efforts to build understanding about each other's sacred traditions, Open Spirit is hosting an Iftar for people of all faiths. *** If you are fasting for Ramadan, please come as our guest. If you are not, please bring a vegetarian dish to share. *** We will gather at 7:30 pm, with an opening outdoor circle at 7:45. From 8:00pm until sunset, we will hear from several Muslim sisters and brothers about their experience of fasting as a spiritual practice. At sundown (8:26 pm) we will break the fast, followed by evening prayers and a communal meal. *** Open Spirit, 39 Edwards Street, Framingham MA 01701
