18-Month Interfaith Calendar
To foster and support inclusive communities, Diversity Awareness Partnership is pleased
to present the 2018-2019 18-Month Interfaith Calendar. This publication is a handy guide to
observances celebrated across 25 religious traditions in the St. Louis region. When planning
your organization’s schedule, refer to our Interfaith Calendar to honor the holidays your
friends, neighbors, and colleagues celebrate.

Considerations
In order to be more accommodating for people who practice different religions, consider the
following:

FOOD
Food and drink are central to many traditions’ rituals and practices. Consider vegetarian,
vegan, non-alcoholic, and decaf options, which can accommodate a wide variety of religious
and ethical choices.

HOURS
Some holidays may require individuals to worship or pray during different hours than they
may the rest of the year. Consider flexibility that takes into account the work and objectives
of your student or employee, rather than the typical time frame when this is normally
accomplished.

TIME OFF
Many organizations have standard holidays for all employees or students that are built
around the worldview of a particular religion - Christianity, for example. Consider allowing
practitioners of other religions to float these holidays or make shifts in their schedules. Again,
the priority should be the quality of the work, not where or when it takes place.

DEADLINES/WORK FLOW
During holidays that require prayer at late/early hours or that require fasting, some
individuals may experience decreased stamina. Examine project schedules or work deadlines
to see if they can be adjusted, if need be.

PRAYER
Some religions require daily or periodic prayer that requires solitude and quiet. Consider
designating a space for individuals to pray that is clean, well-furnished, and accessible.

ATTIRE
For some religions, dress is part of an outward and ongoing commitment to that faith
tradition. Make sure that your organization’s attire policy is communicated clearly to
employees.

Notes
This calendar strives to be as inclusive as possible. However, we are always open to adding
more holidays and more religions. Please contact us directly if there’s something you’d like
for us to consider adding for next year’s calendar.

All content in this calendar represents information that was available at the time of
production. To the greatest extent possible, holidays based on lunar phases or other variables
that change every Gregorian calendar year have been factored into observance dates. The
spelling of certain observances may vary as well, based on different ways of representing
words from other languages.

All Baha’i, Jewish, and Muslim holidays begin at sunset unless otherwise noted.

We encourage all places of worship to be accessible to persons with disabilities by making
necessary accommodations. Contact DAP for additional information on how your organization
can become more inclusive in this way.

                                         “Every year, fasting in the month of Ramadan is spiritually
                                         uplifting. The daily routines are drastically changed: waking
                                         up in the wee hours, cooking special dishes every night
                                         for breaking fast, and praying late in the nights. Eid al Fitr,
                                         celebrating with family and friends, always reminds me of my
                                         cherished childhood memories of this holiday. Festive meals
                                         are the hallmarks of Eid al Adha, the day after Hajj. On these
                                         holidays, congregational prayers are the hallmark of the day.
                                         Being with thousands of people just simply multiplies the
                                         celebratory mood. I also see many Muslims wearing exquisite
                                         dresses from different countries. I can never get used to the
                                         grin on the faces of children when I give them monetary gifts.”
