Yesterday was the start of Ramazan here in Turkey. Ramazan is the month were Muslims fast from sun up to sundown. They normally get up early before sunrise and eat and then have a big feast when the sun goes down. In some neighborhoods a boy with a drum walks around waking everyone up to eat before sunrise. Our neighborhood has banned this drummer boy. It wasn't a big deal to us because I've only heard him once or twice in the five years I've lived here. I'm either a sound sleeper or he's not very good. Although I did see him one morning when I was taking some people to the airport at 3:30am! The meal to break their fast is called iftar. They also have a special bread they make during this month. And a cannon goes off to signify it's ok to eat. And if you don't hear it they have the time printed in the newspaper so you will know. Pray we would have opportunity to share the Good News during this special time for our friends and neighbors.
These pictures have nothing to do with Ramazan...but we had to put something up!
