Palestinian officials say a ceasefire is now in place after three days of fighting and today marks the beginning of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. The tradition began in the seventh century and commemorates the month when Prophet Mohammed retreated to a cave north of Mecca for spiritual contemplation. Southeast Asian countries and much of the Middle East start the holiday on May 6. They also re-connect with God through praying, charity and abstaining from immoral acts.
