Congratulations from the Governor of Nizhny Novgorod Region Gleb Nikitin on the holiday of Uraza-Bayram.

      Dear friends! I congratulate all Muslims living in the Nizhny Novgorod region on the arrival of Uraza-Bayram! The holy month of Ramadan has come to an end – a time for spiritual and physical purification. Followers of Islam celebrate one of the main holidays, which symbolizes gratitude for the opportunity to become better, for overcoming one's temptations, and for spiritual work. Uraza-Bayram is a day of joy and mercy. It reminds us of the importance of compassion for our neighbors, of forgiveness, and of striving for bright and good deeds. These meanings are understandable and close to people of different nationalities and faiths. In the Nizhny Novgorod region, Uraza-Bayram is always celebrated with special warmth, following centuries-old traditions. This is a time when Muslims of the Nizhny Novgorod region gather with their relatives and loved ones, honor the memory of their ancestors, and exchange gifts. It is especially valuable that Uraza-Bayram takes place in an atmosphere of friendship and mutual respect, which has historically developed in the Nizhny Novgorod land. Together we develop our region, strive for its well-being, and understand and respect each other's traditions. On this holiday, I wish health and joy to your families, may all your good endeavors be successful!
