RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting and prayer, comes to an end on Wednesday in England.

Plans are underway for the largest open iftar, the meal at the end of the day breaking the fast, to be held in Trafalgar Square, London this evening.

Everyone is invited to “open iftars”,  held throughout the country in public places, which have been photographed and reported on here.

The events include the sunset ritual to end the day of fasting, alongside entertainment, conversation, spiritual reflections and food.
