RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By TAHLIB, Curator

"Eid Mubarak!" The Muslim example of sacrifice during 30-days of Ramadan was a grand inspiration, but it's all over now. They prayed 5-times a day; fasted from sunrise to sunset; and increased their charitable giving. They also celebrated Ramadan's end with a joy-filled 3-day festival called Eid al-Fitr. We admired their journey and repurposed portions of it as our own. That's why "God is Alive, He Shall Not Die (blue)" (above) by Nasser Al Salem is our NEWS OF WEEK.
