The Ramadan bonfire represents one of the most distinctive traditions in the Northern Borders region during the fasting month, according to Arab News.
During Ramadan, the region witnesses several gatherings that play a crucial role in boosting family and neighborly bonds.
These gatherings offer valuable opportunities to share stories and experiences about the past, present and future, the Saudi Press Agency reported.
Local inhabitant Marawi Al-Sudairi in an interview with SPA noted that the fire symbolizes generosity and togetherness, and an integral part of the Northern Borders’ culture.
Another local, Karim Al-Dhaidi, revealed that Ramadan gatherings are open to everyone, and contributes to strengthening social ties. He also added that they connect people with their past.
In this context, Jazaa Marji, board chairman of the Retirees Association in the Northern Borders region, said that the Ramadan fire has always been a part of the local heritage.
“We grew up with it, and it brings generations together, offering an opportunity to recall memories and share experiences with the youth,” he added.
Marji also noted that the fasting month is the perfect time to bring such traditions into life, explaining that they crystalize the spirit of love, communication, as well as the reinforcement of social values between generations.
Currently, the Ramadan fire remains a significant tradition at various homes in the Northern Borders region as residents revive it during Ramadan nights.
