ALBAWABA - A four-meter lit crescent, one of the ornamental emblems erected across the city to commemorate the holy month of Ramadan, has been stolen, according to Madaba authorities.  

Residents are upset over the occurrence, particularly because the city had undertaken a significant beautifying project in preparation for the holiday season.

In order to improve the spiritual atmosphere and attract tourists, the Madaba Municipality put up distinctive Ramadan decorations at the city's gates and throughout its streets.

The enormous 22-meter crescent in Al-Salam Square, which represents the month's religious and cultural importance, is a prominent element of this year's decorations.

Residents continue to voice their displeasure at the act, which saps the city's Ramadan spirit, as officials look into the smaller crescent's strange disappearance.
