From lanterns to popular activities despite difficulties (photos)


Tripoli, the city, which is known for its rich Ramadan traditions, received the blessed month of Ramadan this year with an atmosphere of joy and adornment, and the city’s streets and their square were decorated with lighting, where the mosques and their minarets were light with tapes, and the crescent that symbolizes the month of Ramadan was erected in the main square. This festive atmosphere comes at a time when Lebanon suffers from suffocating crises that directly affected the lives of citizens.

Despite the challenges, the past few days have witnessed many private initiatives to decorate the streets and organize popular activities such as lighting lanterns and launching the fired balloons in the air. These activities aim to bring joy to the hearts of the population and reduce their daily suffering.

Social solidarity and charitable initiatives also play a major role in alleviating the suffering of the people of Tripoli during this holy month. Where the Mufti of Tripoli and the north, Sheikh Muhammad Tariq Imam, confirmed that the economic conditions were difficult, but with the advent of the month of Ramadan, the economic wheel began to take its correct course. The markets are likely to move positively as Eid al -Fitr approaches.

Tripoli is known as the “city of Ramadan”, as it features a set of religious rituals and rituals whose residents are accustomed to reviving. Among these rituals is the visit of the noble prophetic impact inside the Great Mansouri Mosque, which is considered a fundamental station during the holy month.

In these days, the commercial movement in the Tripoli market is increasing. The stores open their doors to dawn to sell new desserts and clothes in preparation for the feast. The cafes also witness a great crowding after Tarawih prayer, where people gather to drink drinks and sweets.

Despite the difficult circumstances that the Lebanese live, the spirit of Ramadan is still strongly present in Tripoli, where everyone seeks to bring joy to their hearts and the hearts of others through social initiatives.
