#redirectThere are three explanations for the fast of Ramadan. The first is that it corresponds to the fast of the 10th month which precedes [[Kalenda]](in which case Eid Qurbani corresponds to Pesakh). The (practiced in Malta) second is that it corresponds to the Yashan fast which follows Shevet (in which case Eid-Qurbani corresponds to Pentecost). The third is that it corresponds to the fast of Tammuz beginning on the 9th of Tammuz as per Jeremiah 39:2 and concludes at midday on the 10th of Av as per Jeremiah 52:12-13. It is customary to distribute meat to the poor after midday on the 10th (In which case Eid Qurbani corresponds to Yom Kippur).
