Rosie_0801 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 If you religious types don't mind taking some time to peruse this site: http://www.interfaithcalendar.org/index.htm would you mind telling me how comprehensive you think it is? Or if it isn't, provide a link to a better resource? :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Looking at the Eastern Orthodox and Native American pages, I would say, "not too bad." :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosie_0801 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 Looking at the Eastern Orthodox and Native American pages, I would say, "not too bad." :) Any resources for doing better than "not too bad?" :) I'm working on a thought experiment of near epic proportions (y'know, in my own little world :P ) atm and trying to think it through to reality. Anyone else? Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Rosie, you are one of the most open-minded people I know :grouphug:. Just quickly glanced at the Baha'i pages. Yes, looks good, comprehensive, and accurate. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mommaduck Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Any resources for doing better than "not too bad?" :) Rosie Under Eastern Orthodox: http://www.coptic.org/ http://www.copticchurch.net/ http://orientalorthodox.org/ (and there are further links on each of these pages for the rest. The links are the Eastern Orthodox page are the varying jurisdictions. Coptic and Oriental are the other two branches of Eastern Orthodoxy and they have their own jurisdictions). I haven't looked at the Catholic page, but they have varying rites. You could double this under N/A and Christianity: http://www.cherokeediscovery.com/religion.html http://www.thepeoplespaths.net/Bookstore/CherokeeBeforeColumbus.htm A bit generalised, but N/A: http://www.angelfire.com/realm/shades/nativeamericans/nativeamericanreligions.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I can only look quickly right now -- went to Feb 2, 2112 & not impressed Candlemas - Christian Presentation of Christ in the Temple - Anglican Christian Triodion - Orthodox Christian Candlemas & Presentation are the same feast, just different names. It is observed by Eastern Orthodox, RC & catholic-type Anglicans, but not by all Anglicans. And there are little names variations, depending on the church, such as Presentation of the Lord. Candlemas is/was partly a cultural tradition (in parts of UK at least), but I doubt that born again Christians would be celebrating it. Triodion is a liturgical book, not a feast. Jan 18-25 is based on Confession of St Peter (1/18) & Conversion of St Paul (1/25). mention Peter. Jan 1 Holy Name (catholic Anglican) Jan 7 Nativity -- specify Old Calendar Jan 6 Armenian Nativity wish I had more time... not too impressed.

Rosie_0801 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Share Posted September 9, 2011 It's the yearly cycles I'm looking for at the moment, not general info about the religions. I've just read a book on Jewish parenting, which had a great walk through of the Jewish year. I'm looking for the same for the other religions. :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can tell you that the Catholic calendar starts with Advent then goes: Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent, Paschal Triduum, Easter, Pentacost then Ordinary Time until Advent. Then there are all the solemnities, feast days and holy days of obligation throughout the year. This is a good list. Hope that helps in some way.

Rosie_0801 Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 This is a good list. Hope that helps in some way. Thanks, that's along the lines I'm looking for, but I need the commentary. You've given me a base to work off :) Maybe I need to go read lots of religious parenting books. :) Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandra Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) It's the yearly cycles I'm looking for at the moment, not general info about the religions.

I'm looking for the same for the other religions. :) Rosie Not quite sure what you are looking for... have you seen Festivals Together, All Year Round, Festivals, Family and Food? They are Waldorfy type books that describe a rhythm for the year, and each book draws from many different traditions. http://www.amazon.com/Festivals-Together-Lifeways-Sue-Fitzjohn/dp/1869890469/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1315624392&sr=1-1 http://www.amazon.com/All-Year-Round-Lifeways-Druitt/dp/1869890477/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1315624439&sr http://www.amazon.com/Festivals-Family-Food-Diana-Carey/dp/095070623X/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1315624471 One catholic book I like a lot is Adolf Adam, The Liturgical Year. http://www.amazon.com/Liturgical-Year-History-Meaning-Liturgy/dp/0814660479 One website I used to visit a lot is catholicculture.org. It is more political than it used to be, but, if you sift through that, there is still good info about the church year and how to integrate it into family life. http://www.catholicculture.org/culture/liturgicalyear/calendar/day.cfm The volume on Worship by the Orthodox Church in America has an excellent, simple section on the church year.

Rosie_0801 Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 I'll have a look at those other links, Alessandra, thanks. I'm not looking for the Waldorfy books. I'm thinking through our future religious studies, that's all. As you can imagine, when you have two parents of two different religious systems, neither of whom belong to any sort of religious community, religious ed is not going to be "open and go." :p Rosie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay3fer Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 From a Jewish perspective, it's okay. It doesn't include the five "minor" fast days distributed throughout the year (sunrise to sunset, like Muslims, during Ramadan), but the majors are there.
