Episode 94.
Are you a Jew, Christian, or Muslim? Do you wonder about how your holiday this spring intersects with other holidays occurring at or near the same time? What do you make of that? And what does your holiday mean to you? How do you celebrate it?
In this month's reflection, I address how Ramadan, Lent, and Passover connect thematically, and in the calendar. In these tense times when so many of us are feeling anxious and distressed, we can either give into that or strive to remember what connects us to be civil and caring and, that we can learn from each other. I personally choose the latter and I'm guessing you do as well. I thought taking a few moments to look at the main themes of these holidays and the calendar of these holidays that we can, get a little relief from the exhaustion and expand, enrich our own spiritual experience.
Highlights:
- Ramadan, Lent and Passover coinciding this year.
- Ramadan and Lent: Repentance and gratitude.
- Lent and Passover: Redemption and transformation.
- Fasting or restriction brings time and reflection.
- Exodus story as the foundation for both Lent and Passover.
- Importance of processes over time for renewal and spiritual cleansing.
