In the city of Pordenone, Italy, an inspiring collaboration has blossomed between the Muslim faithful and The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. During this year’s Ramadan, members of the Church in that city generously opened their premises to provide a space where Muslims can gather for morning and evening prayers and break their fast (a meal known as the iftar).

A tent in the garden of the Pordenone district chapel allowed participants to find shelter in case of bad weather during the morning prayer, which took place very early, when the chapel was still closed. The evening prayer was held in the chapel, while the building’s multipurpose room was used to consume the iftar after the evening prayer.

The cooperation to prepare and organize this initiative took place well before the holy month. Local Latter-day Saints collaborated with the Muslim community of Pordenone, requesting permits both from the regional leadership of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and from local civil authorities.
