Şeker Bayramı (Sugar or Ramadan Holiday)
Şeker Bayramı is a holiday celebrated by Muslims and it follows Ramazan (30 days of fast - nothing is consumed from sunrise to sunset). As with all holidays this is a time to solve any disputes and problems you may have with other people. During Şeker Bayram sweets are eaten and the younger members visit the older members of the family. Most people actually gain weight during Ramazan due to the numerous invitations to İftar (evening meal to break the days past) - copious amounts of delicious food are presented for guests and it is hard to control oneself after fasting all day. It is normal for children to have trouble with their stomachs as a result of eating too much candy and chocolate during Bayram visits. The following Şeker Bayramı is on October 12, 13, and 14, 2007.
