Indonesians celebrate “Meugang” meat festival during Ramadan | Video

Banda Aceh, Apr 8 (EFE/EPA).- Indonesians celebrated on Monday the Meugang meat festival which was considered a local traditional event celebrated by the people of Aceh during Ramadan.

The Muslims' holy month of Ramadan is the ninth month in the Islamic calendar, and it is believed that the revelation of the first verse in the Koran was during its last 10 nights.

It is celebrated yearly by praying during the night and abstaining from eating, drinking, and sexual acts during the period between sunrise and sunset. It is also a time for socializing, mainly in the evening after breaking the fast, and a shift of all activities to late in the day in most countries. (Camera: HOTLI SIMANJUNTAK).
