This week presents a remarkable convergence on the global calendar. Within a span of days, the followers of the world's three major monotheistic religions are observing some of their most significant holidays.
Jewish communities recently celebrated Shavuot on May 22 and 23, commemorating the revelation of the Torah at Mount Sinai. On Sunday, May 24, Christians marked Pentecost, a festival remembering the descent of the Holy Spirit and the birth of the early church. And on Wednesday, May 27, Muslims will begin Eid al-Adha, the festival of sacrifice that honours the profound devotion of Abraham.
