WORLD RELIGION DAY
20 January marks World Religion Day across the globe.
The day was created by the Bahai faith and United Nations in 1950, to get followers of the faith to observe the day publicly wherever they may be. Now it is in its 62nd year, and encapsulates all religions.
The aim is to unite everyone, whatever their faith, by showing us all that there are common foundations to all religions and that together we can help humanity and live in harmony.
By celebrating the similarities in different faiths and understanding other religions, the day shows us how we can work together to create a better world.
