PERSONAL JOURNEYS - Calendar

There are many dates and holidays on the modern calendar that many people celebrate, whether in a worshipful way or just as a day to be with family and friends in enjoyable companionship. We now offer a list of days that we as a body celebrate. Since we are based in the United States and originate in the Christian religion, there are holidays on this calendar that will be specific to that country and religion. Others in other countries who join with us online will celebrate other holidays that are specific to their own countries or the belief systems that they originate from. This is a list that is simply for reference and guidance. Celebrations may be done at personal altars on or near these dates, as well as other days that may be sacred to the worshiper.
