the reason i ask is, i have a pretty limitless interest in religious customs and ceremonies, as long as it's in the context of comparing two things. i'll get around to studying islam, most likely, but if you know any other holidays or beliefs that remind you of islam or ramadan, i'd love to hear about them at your earliest convenience.
Isn't Lent kinda similar as an idea? there's no fasting per se, but giving up things for a month... Also the Jewish fast every now and then - one day at a time- but idea is the same. Of course, I only have a murky idea at best, being a heathen and all...
cjhsa, you'd be very lonely at your pig roast if you wanted to host devout religious people of ANY sort - the Bible speaks of pork as unholy, and many kinds of Christians, as well as Jews, do not eat it.
