The Intercultural Dialogue Institute (IDI) and the Office for Interreligious Dialogue, Archdiocese of Toronto came together with Muslim friends and community members for a meaningful Iftar experience on March 13.
Ramadan Strengthens Muslim-Christian Bonds, “We Muslims and Christians are called to open ourselves to others, knowing and recognizing them as brothers and sisters,” reads the letter from the Vatican. “In this way, we can tear down walls raised out of fear and ignorance and seek together to build bridges of friendship that are fundamental for the good of all humanity.”
Ramadan, the holiest month in Islam, is marked by fasting from dawn to sunset, ending each day with Iftar, a shared meal that brings people together in faith and community.
