Interfaith Calendar, Sacred Events

Mid-way through a month which holds sacred events for many of us, I was curious to see just how extensive that list of events might be. This interfaith calendar is compiled by the Pew Research Center, an extremely well-regarded think tank. This link gets you to the calendar. Peace to all of us, and the freedom to observe, or not observe, as we wish.
