HOMETOWN SITIAWAN - AIDIL FITRI 2014

We were back home in Sitiawan celebrating the recent Hari Raya Aidil Fitri. The house was crowded accommodating 4 generations. The compound was fairly large able to take 20 cars. On the second day of Raya, Azri was trying to put his new grass mower into action at the other side of lawn far away from cars.  I thought the view was unique, a mower among vehicles.

We took photos for the occasion, men without the regular sampin. 
It was middle of the day, so sampin had to go 
as weather getting a little bit hot.

There was one old cempedak tree at the front of the house bearing lot of fruits. 
Too bad, none was ripe then.

RAYA. and MERDEKA

Selamat Hari Raya.


Selamat hari Raya Aidil Fitri

   Celebrated by the Muslims, Aidil Fitri signifies the end of the fasting season of Ramadan for a month. The celebration is determined by sighting of the new moon. This is the most significant celebration for the Muslims. Muslims starts the day by congregating in the mosques early in the morning to perform Hari Raya Puasa prayers followed by visits to the graves of the departed. 

This festive occasion is greeted with great joy, the young will ask for forgiveness from their elders and everyone will put on new clothes. Open house or invitation for relatives and friends to come to their house is practised. Plenty of traditional Malay delicacies are served during this festive season. Houses are thoroughly cleaned and decorated with the lighting of oil lamps to welcome the angels which is believed to be visiting the earth during the seven days preceding the festivall. The celebration lasts for a month which the celebration is concentrated in the first three days.
