What is Ramadan?

Ramadan, the holiest period of Islam, is observed for the ninth lunar month in the Islamic calendar. Most healthy Muslims over the age of 12 are expected to "abstain from food, drink and other sensual pleasures" from dawn until sunset.
Ramadan ends with Eid al Fitr, a day of feasting and celebration on the first day of the tenth month.
