April is a busy month. Several religions celebrate important spiritual occasions during this month. I thought I’d list them and encourage all believers to honor their own religious tradition not only by respecting the sacred beliefs of others but also by remembering that we are all part of the same human family under that Supreme Being/Force/God–whatever name we affix to Him/Her/It.
