Moslems in New Zealand have celebrated the end of Ramadan.

Ramadan lasts for a month and is sacred to Moslems who must fast during daylight hours and reflect on their spirituality during that time.

Ponsonby mosque secretary Firoz Patel says 500 - 600 people were at the mosque at 7.30am on Sunday for post-Ramadan prayers.
