Last night (Thursday 23 March), Salford Civic Centre, Swinton was lit up with a green glow just after sundown to commemorate the first full day of the Islamic holy month.
This is the first time the building, which houses Salford City Council, has lit up its exterior in celebration of Ramadan
A tweet from Salford City Council said: “Ramadan Mubarak! The sun has set on the first day of #Ramadan – the start of the most sacred month in the Islamic calendar.
