honeyb35 Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Driving through Pitsmoor / Firth Park the other night, I noticed a lot of houses had flags / banners / fairy lights up. Is there some sort of festival / celebration going on? I'm nosy! Satisfy my curiosity, please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 It's more than possible that they were still there from "Mawlid al-Nabi", the "birthday of the Prophet Muhammad", which is celebrated by some sections of the Muslim community.

Plain Talker Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 if you don't ask, you don't learn. And yes, there have been a lot of lights and green flags displayed round Sharrow, too, for the Prophet's Birthday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
