In the Moslem world Passion Sunday corresponds with the first day of the month-long fast of Ramazan. During Ramazan, western customs, where they have been adopted, are set aside, and the more primitive native manners revived. The muezzin supplements his usual announcement of the hour of prayer with the exhortation: "Give food, O ye faithful, unto the orphan and the poor, the wayfarer and the bondman," and though the wealthy do not now, as in former days, stand at their doors and invite the needy to a well-laden table. Ramazan remains a time of peace, charity and hospitality.
