  Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr
  Although Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr are technically two separate holidays, you can’t have one without the other. In Islamic cultures, Ramadan is known as a month of fasting and Eid al-Fitr is the festival of breaking the fast. These holidays help Muslims connect with their religion and their loved ones. Ramadan begins during the ninth month of the Muslim calendar at the start of the new moon. Eid al-Fitr cannot start until the new moon of the following month, which signifies that a whole month of fasting has been completed. Ramadan typically falls in early May and Eid al-Fitr follows in early June.

  Ramadan is observed by fasting when the sun begins to rise until sunset. This means that people have a short amount of time to eat. Although the practice is strenuous, fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam.
   
  Muslims believe that fasting is a way to atone for sins and deepen their connection to Allah. If people have the strength to abstain from food, it gives them the confidence that they can abstain from any harmful temptations in the future. Although children aren’t required to fast, many young and old Muslims alike are excited for Ramadan because it’s a special holy month.
   
  In order to celebrate their hard work, Muslims break their fast during the Eid al-Fitr festival, which lasts for three days after Ramadan. During Eid al-Fitr, Muslims visit loved ones, exchange cards and gifts, feast, and pray in public spaces together. Typical Eid al-Fitr dishes include Maamoul (stuffed shortbread cookies), sheer khurma (date milk), and doro wat (curry stew).

  Valentine’s Day
  Although we recognize Valentine’s Day as a holiday for lovers, the history of Valentine’s Day is much darker. Experts who have studied past centuries have noted that there were several saints named Valentine who could be responsible for the holiday’s title. However, these saints were neither romantic nor had happy life stories.
   In ancient Rome, Christians were persecuted often and the violence could go as far as getting beheaded.

  Despite all of these saints’ tragic endings, it wasn’t until the 14th century when honoring St. Valentinus became romanticized. Chaucer, who was a poet famous for his many contributions to literature, made a connection between the holiday and birds mating.
   
  After this observation became widespread, other notable figures like Shakespeare began associating the St. Valentinus feast with love. Letters of adoration were written, romantic gestures were planned, and February became known as the month of mating. Fast forward to modern times and you’ll notice that Valentine’s Day has become quite an extravagant holiday.
  Common Valentine’s Day traditions around the world include giving partners sweet Valentine’s Day cards, chocolates in heart-shaped boxes, jewelry, and cute stuffed animals. Romantic dates are also expected on this day. Some restaurants are so popular that people have to make reservations for Valentine’s Day months in advance!
