| description | The paper focuses on the celebration of Ramadan Bayram and the organization
of the feast Bayram sofra in Belgrade. The Islamic Community of Serbia and
the Cultural Society of Muslims in Serbia - “Gajret”, have been organizing
the Bayram sofra since 2009 as the celebration which symbolizes the end of
the Ramadan fasting. The celebration is held in the public space in front of
the Bajrakli mosque in Belgrade. Since it is organized as part of the
celebration of Ramadan Bayram, its meaning can be observed and analyzed in a
religious, but also in a broader social context. In this paper, we observe
the Bayram sofra in the context of learning about Islam, as the minority
religious community, but also as an event which initiates interreligious
dialogue at several different levels. Thus, we focus on identifying the
elements of dialogue between the Islamic community and other religious
communities, as well as the citizens of Belgrade, relying on some
theoretical concepts of interreligious dialogue. The ethnographic research
of the Bayram sofra started in 2020 with the main focus on the social and
religious elements of Ramadan Bayram and the role of this religious festival
in enhancing the visibility of this religious minority in Serbia. |
