Greater Shepparton’s vast Muslim population is celebrating the blessed month of Ramadan with faith, fasting and community iftar. It is a time of reflection and connection to God. Greater Shepparton has one of Australia’s largest per capita Muslim populations, with 3,300 residents in the last census report, and that number is expected to grow significantly in the next report. The Holy Month will end this week, then Eid al-Fitr celebrations will be held across Greater Shepparton. Gifts will be exchanged, new clothes worn, food shared, houses decorated, and homes opened to friends and family to share in the love and community.
