Major Religious Holidays, Inclusive Calendar of Holy Days
Having an awareness of world religions and holidays is important for respectful scheduling and inclusivity year-round. To assist you, we’ve created our 2020 interfaith calendar and inclusive religious calendar with holy days.
The calendar consists of major religious holidays and festivals, and it has been compiled from a list of all events. It also contains dietary restrictions, inclusivity tips, etc.
