Listen "Festivals of Faith – When Belief Bursts into Celebration"
Episode Synopsis
This episode celebrates the role of festivals in making faith come alive. From Diwali’s lamps in Hinduism to Christmas in Christianity, Eid al-Fitr in Islam, Vesak in Buddhism, Passover in Judaism, and Vaisakhi in Sikhism, each festival combines ritual, storytelling, and joy. Indigenous traditions and global celebrations like Obon, Songkran, Timkat, and Día de los Muertos further illustrate how communities honor ancestors, cycles of nature, and sacred memory. Through shared meals, music, and rituals, festivals transform belief into visible, communal joy—reminding us that faith is not only solemn, but also vibrant, embodied, and enduring.
