World Religion Day (Third Sunday of January)

 

World Religion Day takes place every January on the third Sunday of the month aiming to promote interfaith understanding and dialogue between all religions as well as mutual understanding and tolerance between people from different backgrounds.

The day is a global observance for people of all faiths and beliefs to come together to celebrate diversity, foster peace, and promote religious tolerance. It was established by the Bahá’í Faith community in the United States in 1950. Its purpose is to encourage people of all backgrounds to explore the teachings and principles of various religions and to promote unity and understanding among different faiths.
