Religious convergence

As happens with calenders based on the lunar cycle, sometimes religious celebrations from different traditions coincide. This year this is the case with the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan and Rosh HaShana, the Jewish new year. Neither of these celebrations have official status in Holland, so unlike quite a few countries we don't see many advertisements inspired by these events such as the Ramadan inspired hamburger ad and the one for those delicious kosher & organic sausages.
