Festivals of fear – why Ramadan and Easter can be times of fear and isolation for persecuted ChristiansFor Muslims around the world, Ramadan is a time of togetherness. It's also a time of increased pressure for Christians in many Muslim-dominated areas in Africa, Asia and the Middle East. "Many Christians struggle during Ramadan from an increased inferiority complex," says Mary*, a field worker for the charity Open Doors, which supports persecuted Christians. Those who break under this extreme pressure struggle with guilt for having denied their faith. There is another reason why Easter can be a source of fear and anxiety for Christians in many parts of the world.
