Today is a double celebration: The French Blog<\/span><\/a> wishes you a Joyeux Ramadan\u00a0<\/span><\/em><\/span>and a\u00a0joyeuse\u00a0<\/span>f\u00eate nationale Suisse<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span> !<\/em>
\n<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

We hope that this co\u00efncidence<\/em>\u00a0de calendrier <\/em>(calendar coincidence) will be especially significant, and\u00a0serves to bring Swiss Muslims and all other Swiss people,\u00a0de toutes les confessions\u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/span>(of all the faiths), closer together!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The *very special*\u00a0couteau suisse <\/em><\/span>(Swiss knife) that you see above can prove very useful to the people qui observent le je\u00fbne du Ramadan <\/em>(who fast during Ramadan<\/em>), especially to those living in Europe who, due to work or studying circumstances, are left with no other choice but to eat “on the go” when it’s le coucher du soleil <\/em>(sunset)!

After featuring the lyrics of la Marsellaise<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>(France), and la Braban\u00e7onne<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>(Belgium),<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0today is the turn of “le Cantique suisse<\/strong><\/em><\/span>“, namely the French national anthem of la Suisse<\/strong><\/span><\/em>, which proudly highlights the paramount importance of la foi <\/em><\/strong><\/span>(faith) in the life of the mountainous country.
