Amman, Giordania: uno sguardo alla luna che segna l'inizio del mese dedicato al digiuno

A woman points skyward as she and her sons look for the crescent moon in Amman, Jordan, at sunset Sunday, July 31, 2011. Religious authorities in most of the Middle East declared that Monday will be the start of the holy month of Ramadan, a period devoted to dawn-to-dusk fasting, prayers and spiritual introspection. Ramadan begins around 11 days earlier each year. Its start is calculated based on the sighting of the new moon, which marks the beginning of the Muslim lunar month that varies between 29 or 30 days.
