LONDON – In a historic first, Windsor Castle hosted an open Iftar, marking a significant moment in its 1,000-year history. The event, part of the Ramadan Tent Project’s Open Iftar initiative, brought together people of diverse backgrounds to break their fast within the iconic walls of the British royal residence.
The gathering, held in the castle’s Quadrangle, symbolized unity and inclusivity, with attendees including community leaders, faith representatives, and members of the public. The initiative aims to foster understanding and togetherness during the holy month of Ramadan.
The Open Iftar series has previously been held at notable UK landmarks, but Windsor Castle’s participation stands as a milestone in promoting interfaith harmony. The event was met with praise for its efforts in bridging communities and celebrating cultural diversity within the United Kingdom.
