In the clip above, you see the young people taking their first bite after fasting all day.
Both those who fast during Ramadan and before Easter gather to eat various vegan, vegetarian and Lebanese dishes during “iftar”.
– We are doing this for better integration, we are open to all young people in the whole city, says the leisure leader at Birkagården in Österängen, Haidar Hussein for SVT Nyheter Jönköping.
During the fasting month of Ramadan, the fast is broken every evening at sunset, and you stop eating before sunrise.
This year, Christians and Muslims are fasting at the same time, which does not happen often, since Ramadan occurs at different times each year. Syrians in Sweden started fasting on March 18 and do so for 50 days. Muslims started fasting on March 11 and do so for a total of 30 days.
