The Fasting Month has come to an end, marked by the largest holiday of the year.  We prepared for the children who visit, much like trick or treating, to ask for money, and then we visited a few friends.

 

Visiting Children

 

 

Prior to the actual holiday, I, Erin, spent time with both the reading school tutors and a couple neighbors to prepare traditional cookies and treats which are offered to visiting guests.
