“Cultural festivals, traditions and holidays offer an opportunity to
get together, share stories and food, and celebrate each other. I grew
up in India, where we celebrated many festivals, and one of my
favorite memories is from Eid
[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Fitr] mornings, when my mother
would prepare a big pot of ‘sheer kurma’, a sweet, vermicelli milk
pudding with lots of nuts and dates. Our house would get filled with
its aroma, and I couldn’t wait for it to be ready. I was always
assigned the most important task – of carrying trays filled with
bowls of sheer kurma and distributing them to our neighbors. As I
would go from floor to floor, carefully balancing each bowl, I’d
feel the spirit of my festival. Exchanging greetings and wishes,
visiting friends and family, and sharing good food and cheer.
I invite you to celebrate Eid in a place I now call home; LANDS END.
We will spend the morning in a beautiful indigenous plant habitat,
nurturing our park site, sharing stories, and enjoying a bowl of sheer
kurma together. We want to give a huge shout out to our friends from
GreenMuslims [https://www.greenmuslims.org/] who will be joining us
and sharing all the amazing work they are doing to bring the Muslim
community closer to nature through spiritually-inspired environmental
education, action, and reflection. "
