Eid Il-Fitr

The customs & rituals around #eid are strongly founded on the #muslim traditions of #family bonding, #generosity & #celebration.

Strong #Arabic #Coffee infused with #cardomom harks back to #islamic medicine where its use as a digestive aid was prevalent.

The #kaak is #handmade from #semolina #flour and  contains #pistachios or #walnuts or #dates; it is also probably acquired from #Christian traditions where the round kaak #symbolizes the thorns of the #crown of #Christ.

Eid, like , #Christmas is a time when #friends of all religions can #celebrate our #humanity and #unity; and should serve as a reminder that the mindless aggressive terrorist acts perpetrated in the name of #religion are the sick acts of the #spiritually corrupt, politically motivated, morally bankrupt, evil minority.

May levelheadedness and #goodwill always prevail and keep the world a safer place. May #Peace be upon us all. #eid #wishes #aspirations #love #lovejo #amman #jordan #middleeast #tradition #culture #joy #travelpics #travelgram #foodism #foodiegram #foodlovers #celebration #celebrate #familia #familylove #famille #symbolic  #symbolism
