Religious festival managed to include a cross (7)
I believe the answer is:
ramadan
'religious festival' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'managed to include a cross' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ramadan that I've seen before include "Religious festival" , "Islam holy month" , "Month in Muslim calendar" , "Month of fasting from dawn to dusk" , "Ninth month of Muslim year, time to fast" .)
