Empire State Turnred to Green

برج الأمباير ستيت في نيويورك نور أخضر ليلة عيد الفطر عشان عيد المسلمين
For the first time, New York’s world famous Empire State Building lit green from Friday to mark Eid-ul-Fitre, it was officially announced Wednesday.The building management said the lighting will become an annual event in the same tradition of the yearly lightings for Christmas and Hannukah.
Eid al-Fitr was celebrated in New York on Saturday and the city’s tallest skyscraper remained green until Sunday.
Built in the early 1930s, the 443-meter-tall (1,454-feet-tall) Empire State Building was first lit up with coloured lighting in 1976, when red, white and blue lights were used to mark the American Bicentennial.
An estimated seven million Muslims live in the United States

Thanks Shatha
