Happy Islamic New Year! Also known as the Hijri New Year, it is the first day of Muharram, which is the first month in the Islamic calendar. The starting point of Islamic calendar is migration of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad from Mecca to Medina in 622 CE. This day, observed at sunset of July 18 this year, signifies a time of renewal and spiritual contemplation.  Did you know Sacramento is home to the oldest Muslim Mosque in the United States west of the Mississippi River? The Muslim community has grown in the Sacramento area ever since the early 1900s. A large majority of those who came to California in the early 1900s were South Asian immigrants seeking education in the United States or were refugees fleeing colonial oppression.  Construction of the Mosque began in 1941 at 411 V Street and was finished in 1947. This Mosque continues to serve the Islamic community today as part of the Muslim Mosque Association.  For today, Jared letterpress printed a Hijri New Year greeting using a 3x5 Kelsey Excelsior tabletop printing press. This was printed in green rubber base ink with 30 point Caslon type font.  #SacHistoryMuseum #islamicnewyear #hijrinewyear #hijri #asmr #museumtok
