跨信仰日历

This calendar was created as a resource designed to encourage public awareness of the diverse religious and 少数民族 groups in our community. 然而, 因为信教人数众多, 少数民族, and cultural groups worldwide we recognize that this resource cannot provide an exhaustive list for all our faith traditions. While these dates have been researched for accuracy using multiple resources, inaccuracies occur. Please bring to our attention any incorrect information. 谢谢你！!

一些节日的日期, particularly those that are calculated according to the lunar calendar and rely on sightings of the New Moon (e.g. Islamic holidays) vary according to region; other observances and dates (e.g. Buddhist holidays) vary greatly across cultures and strands of a tradition. We hope that this calendar encourages discussions about different religious and faith practices.
