The central festival of Christianity is Easter, on which Christians celebrate their belief that Jesus Christ rose from the dead on the third day after his crucifixion. Even for Easter, however, there is no agreement among the various Christian traditions regarding the date or manner of the observance, less for Christmas, Pentecost, or various other holidays. Both Protestants and Catholics observe certain festivals commemorating events in the life of Christ. Of these, the two most important are Christmas, which commemorates the Birth of Jesus, and Easter, which marks his resurrection.
Festival of Faiths
A celebration of interfaith dialogue, the first Festival of Faiths was held in Louisville Kentucky,[10] and in 1998, Senator Wendell Ford passed a resolution in the United States Congress “to express the sense of the Senate that the Louisville Festival of Faiths should be commended and should serve as model for similar festivals in other communities throughout the United States.”[11] Several cities throughout the United States now host interfaith festivals including Kansas City, Kansas,[12] St Louis, Missouri,[13] Indianapolis, Indiana [14] and Cincinnati, Ohio.[15]
