    No. Fasting begins at puberty. Small children, including my 7 year old, sometimes "play fast" for a few hours each day because they want to be like the grownups.

    People who are sick or travelling, pregnant women, post-partum mothers and breast-feeding women are exempt from fasting.

    I've seen these types of pictures before but I am always moved by the pictures in the Grand Mosque - the coordination and dedication is amazing!

    I love the picture of everyone praying and the little boy looking at the camera - its so funny (and real)!

    Ditto to tropical, that picture from London is so cute. Reminds me of my childhood .

    On a separate note, I can't believe we are already coming to the end of Ramadan.

    AP photographers are some of the best in the world. The pictures are very well done. One of my favorite pictures is the boy looking around while everyone else is praying. What a great moment.
