OIC delegates gather for iftar in Budapest – Photos

In the heart of Christian-majority Hungary, the Islamic ritual of iftar, marking the breaking of the Ramadan fast, is a less common sight. Yet this ancient tradition plays an important role in bringing Muslims together in Hungary and around the world.
