July Interfaith Calendar 2024 Highlights
Islamic: Islamic New Year*- July 8
Also known as the Hijri New Year, this day is the beginning of the new Islamic lunar calendar year, based on the lunar cycle. While the Islamic calendar is also 12 months, it’s about 10-12 days shorter than the standard Gregorian calendar. Starting in the month of Muharram is considered one of four sacred months in the Islamic faith.
Bahá’í: Martyrdom of the Báb – July 9
The Martyrdom of the Báb commemorates the anniversary of the Báb’s execution in Persia in 1850. The Báb is considered the herald of the Bahá’í Faith, whose teachings paved the way for the revelation of Bahá’u’lláh, the founder of the Bahá’í Faith. It is one of the nine holy days in the Bahá’í Faith when work is suspended.
Buddhist: Asalha Puja – July 21
Asalha Puja, also known as Dhamma Day, is a Theravada Buddhist festival which takes place on the full moon of the eighth lunar month. It commemorates the Buddha’s first teaching after his enlightenment.
