It’s World Religion Day on the 17th January

The aim of World Religion Day is to promote understanding and peace between all religions, encouraging people to learn about other faiths and their followers.

It was initially started by followers of the Bahá’í faith. This is a faith that was founded in 1863 in Iraq. Bahá’ís believe that all religions have common features and that all religions should be respected. They believe that there is one God who is known by different names in all religions. In their faith, this God is the reason for the development of all religions over the years. Followers of the Bahá’í faith believe that all humans are born equal, and that we all have the same rights regardless of the religion or creed we follow.

Many Best wishes and see you all next week!
