A Bridge in Ramadan

Muslim's across the world are currently observing the month of Ramadan.

Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic calendar and there are several reasons why the Islamic community consider it important. Muslim's believe that the Qur'an was revealed during this month, and that at this time the gates of Heaven are open and the gates of Hell closed.

A Christian church in the Indonesian city of Solo has recognised an opportunity to build a bridge to their community during Ramadan, by providing meals at sunset for fasting Muslim's.
