Fasting is performed to discipline the soul. Not to eat anything between the morning prayer and the evening prayer is to stay away from all kinds of sins. The sick and elderly who cannot fast cover the daily meal expenses of a person in need. The purpose of fasting is to understand the situation of people in need.

Ramadan

uskudardennis — 2022-04-17 19:46:39 UTC

Muslims believe it was during this month that God revealed the first verses of the Quran, Islam's sacred text, to Mohammed, on a night known as "The Night of Power" (or Laylat al-Qadr in Arabic).

During the entire month of Ramadan, Muslims fast every day from dawn to sunset. It is meant to be a time of spiritual discipline — of deep contemplation of one's relationship with God, extra prayer, increased charity and generosity, and intense study of the Quran.

Dyeing Easter Eggs

The tradition of decorating eggs of all kinds may go all the way back to the ancient pagans. It’s easy to see why eggs represent rebirth and life, so associating them with spring and new growth isn’t much of a stretch. To celebrate the new season, it’s said that people colored eggs and gave them to friends and family as gifts.

Iftar is the main meal of the fasting day, which occurs at sunset every day of Ramadan. The initial breaking of the fast isn’t a huge meal; it’s typically just a date and a glass of water or some other type of drink such as fruit juice.Once the initial fast is broken, worshippers will break for prayer, which lasts anywhere from five to 15 minutes, and then return to eat a larger, more substantial dinner type of meal.

At 11 in the morning, with the signal of the first Resurrection and when the Metropolitan sings "Resurrection, ὁ God, judge of the souls", the bells of all the churches of the city ring joyfully and the inhabitants from their balconies or windows they throw their boots. The boots are clay jugs, full of water, with a narrow mouth and two handles on the side, tied with red ribbons. The balconies and windows are decorated with a red cloth.
It is a custom that is celebrated only in Corfu and has roots from the Venetian years of occupation of the island. The Venetians then Catholics broke the old pitchers on New Year's Eve, as a "tax".

we make candles for the resurrection of Christ

In a large bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar and stir until dissolved. Stir in ½ cup flour and let sit for 15 minutes, until mixture foams. Add oil, salt, and 2 cups flour (reserving ½ cup) and stir with a wooden spoon until a shaggy mass forms. Dust a clean surface with some of reserved flour and knead until smooth and elastic, about 7 minutes, adding more of the reserved flour if the dough is too sticky. Dough should be soft and moist. (You can cover the dough and let rest 10 minutes if you need a rest from kneading.) Place dough in a clean large bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Leave in a warm place until dough has doubled in size, about 1 hour. Place a pizza stone or large cast-iron skillet in your oven and preheat to 500°. Lightly dust a clean surface with flour. Punch down dough and turn it out onto surface. Divide dough into 8 pieces and roll into balls. Cover with a towel or plastic wrap and let rest 10 minutes. Working one at a time, roll each round into a ¼”-thick circle about 8” wide, sprinkling dough with extra flour if it starts to stick. Working as quickly as possible, open your oven and place as many pitas that will fit on your skillet or stone without touching. Let bake until an air pocket balloons and the pita begins to turn golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining rounds. Cover baked pitas with a clean kitchen towel to keep warm.
