[Edited extract from public address]
Ramadan is also a time to share spiritual wisdoms and to come together with the wider community, including through Iftar dinners being held across the state.
Throughout this holy month, we are reminded of the kindness, thoughtfulness and generosity we share within our multicultural and multifaith communities.
Following the recent tragic events in Christchurch, we saw this kindness in the hearts of non-Muslim Victorians who gave their unconditional love and support to those affected.
This is the very spirit of Ramadan, and the Commission encourages you to continue supporting each other and embracing our shared humanity.
Ramadan Mubarak.
