A special greeting for Eid-al-Adha
This evening begins the holy festival of Eid-al-Adha for our Muslim friends. From what I've been able to learn, an appropriate greeting is "May the divine blessings of Allah bring you hope, faith, and joy on Eid al-Adha and forever."
I'm trying to stay current with holiday greetings for major religions throughout the year, instead of only thinking about holidays in December! This festival changes dates, based on a lunar calendar, but if I got this right, it runs from this evening through Wednesday evening. We all could benefit from greater hope, faith, and joy, in the spirit of this festival!
I remain convinced that we must seek stronger bonds of understanding across cultural differences, so that we may build bridges (PLEASE, not walls!) between ourselves and our neighbors. Eid Mubarak, my friends. May all of us open ourselves to receive greater hope, faith, and joy!
