The most important festivals Christian and Muslim world carry the same message of joy and happiness.
Like every year a large tree at the entrance will welcome those who pass, even if only briefly, the Termini station in Rome, with attached letters come from all over the world and want to tell stories and different and unique from each other. If you could speak tale of love born by chance, missed trains, travel never begun, made or missed meetings. But above all document as living at his feet, ethnicities, different customs and habits. Italy has been for years a multiethnic country, where even different phenomena are able to mingle and have lived in their specificity. As in the case of holidays that in many cases Immigrants do own, taking away their religious character and will appreciate the spirit, as in the case of Christmas. This year marks the very same day, thanks to the cyclical nature of the lunar calendar, the immaculate and "Eid ul-Adha, the feast of sacrifice (or" connection "of Ishmael), and offer us an opportunity to reflect on 'importance of the message of peace and love inherent in them. "Eid ul-Adha" occurs at the end of Dhu' l-Hajjah, the month of pilgrimage to Mecca, and is 'commonly called the "great party", for' importance in the Islamic world. Normally falls about seventy days after the Feast of the Fitr and is celebrated today, December 8 2008.La " Feast of Sacrifice "is the feast in which the Muslims remember the story of the sacrifice of Abraham, to whom God asked to offer his son Isaac as a sacrifice, but when God saw his love saved Abraham, Isaac and gave a goat to be sacrificed in place of his figlio.I Muslims in the memory of this story have a goat that is, every family, the day before the party, it remains without sleeping, playing and having fun and that day is called "El-Wakf" offer the goat and distribute neighbors and the poor, so that you create a relationship of love between people because every family, even if offered, he receives a piece of meat from another family, and so also the poor who are not offer, receive their parte.Nel's day all the Muslims around the world, wearing their festive costumes and participate in a special prayer meeting in the morning, at 5:00 go to the mosque to pray 7:00. Followed by a short speech, after which all stand to be hugging and greeting each other with the traditional greeting "Eid Mubarak" which means "blessed festival" or "festival of blessings". In those two hours, all roads in the country you hear the prayer. Then, there are the visits to the homes of friends and shared meals with gifts of sweets and gifts to children. For lunch time families gather at home to cook the meat is coming from other families (not from their offer) and then eat lunch at the meat prepared in a special way, which has a wonderful taste. Then for three days across the country feel the love cause we're all playing together, all having fun together, all go to the gardens and public places to have fun. Muslims claim in this festival the mercy of God towards them, so I'm encouraged to live it with joy, happiness and marriage. Decorate their homes with garlands, wreaths and colored lights, and give gifts to their children. The holidays are an occasion of joy and fun, but these should not obscure the profound religious significance that God has given them. Are encouraged good deeds, sharing, moderazione.Anche Christmas in the Christian religious festival is the most important, the celebration of the Mass ends with the exchange of greetings between the present and then with the family meal. The mercy and love guide the hand of the faithful in giving something to others and feel in the mood more ricco.La proximity of these two holidays are so different shows us how to live together as different phenomena, but carrying the same message and create a hope to be able to live as people apparently different from each other.
