This year the alignment of calendars (Hijri and Gregorian) provided a unique opportunity for Christians and Muslims to honor and share their spiritual traditions of fasting.
To foster interfaith understanding, the Edmonton Council of Muslim Communities and the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Edmonton hosted Sharing the Fast - an evening of dialogue and prayer which culminated in breaking a day of fasting with a vegetarian potluck meal.
The program was held on March 5 2025, the 5th of Ramadhan and Ash Wednesday at the Newman Theologian College in Edmonton.
