Religious holidays: Chicago-area Muslims celebrate Ramadan as Christians mark Ash Wednesday
People are stringing closer to their faith across the Chicagoland area as two religions coincided with their most holy months of the year, with Muslims celebrating Ramadan on the same day as the start of Lent.
The Ash Wednesday marked the beginning of Lent for Christians, it must finish in 40 days. For most of the Alsatian Muslims, Ramadan starts this Thursday. These two highlights have in common to invite to recollection, even if their origin and meaning differ. The concomitance between the two is rare.
A great first in religious history. The Christian and Muslim communities of Ivory Coast begin, this Wednesday, February 18, 2026, throughout the country, the Lent and Ramadan periods, two major periods of fasting, prayer and spiritual purification that coincide for the second consecutive year.
