Interfaith Calendar
The goal of this calendar is to include as many dates important to faiths and people of faith around the world as possible.
Please note that we are in the process of researching the corresponding Gregorian Calendar dates for the coming year, so currently only a list of events in a general order and the approximate months is included here. Eventually we hope to include brief descriptions of the dates as well.
