Sacred Holidays: An Online Lecture by Encounter World Religions

Celebrations, deeply held traditions, community events and personal rituals give a richness to religions and guide us from cradle to grave. In this program, MORSL and McGill student participants will attend a live webinar together to explore the role that sacred holidays play in personal, family and community life.
