Eid-Ul-Fitr, a celebration of completing a month of fasting, praying and abstaining from all negative actions and thoughts, is an Islamic festival that marks the end of Ramadan - the holy month of fasting when Muslims fast from dawn to dusk each day.

On this day, Muslims show their gratitude to Allah for offering them health and endurance to get through the long fasting period of Ramadan.

On this auspicious day, Muslims worldwide thank Allah for giving them the strength, will and endurance  to observe the month-long fast and obey His commandments during Ramadan.

Edmages joins the Muslim fraternity worldwide to celebrate the Eid with some pictures of people in traditional attire akin to those won by Muslim faithful.

The birth of a baby is always celebrated in many jurisdictions because a new human being has been added to a family.

The feeling was no different at the naming of a son to the Kankams on Saturday, March 16, 2024, at the Qadish Church, Spintex in Accra, when family members and friends gathered to witness the momentous event.

Hurray! Kester Obrempong Fokuo Kankam is now a full member of the family and the nation at large.

For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given....Isaiah 9: 6-7. So it happened, that the third boy born to the Baidens on Friday, October 27, 2023, Oheneba Adepa Kofi Baiden, was named on Saturday, December 23, 2023. 

It can be said that Christmas came early for the Baidens and all loved ones. All praise and thanks to God for this bundle of joy and gift of another human.
