Day 18: Revealing Ramadan

Something I have been saving for a rainy (or snowy, as the case may be) day is a wonderful collection of personal reflections from Muslims on the meaning of Ramadan in their lives.  I would highly recommend taking a few minutes and visiting "Revealing Ramadan" which was produced by Krista Tippett from Being (formerly Speaking of Faith) on NPR.  

The website features audio commentary from Muslims, many of them Americans, on how they practice Ramadan, what it signifies for them and some of the challenges that they have experienced.  Most of the reflections are three to five minutes in length and are well worth the time.  I used the website as an assignment for my students when we studied Islam and these testimonies are, in part, what inspired me to make my Lenten Ramadan.
