Send us a note at and let us know. These holidays differ from one another but there are common themes in all of them, like spending time with family, giving thanks for what we have, eating special foods and getting together in celebration. But the holiday ends with a three day feast. And Ramadan is a period of fasting, which means Muslims observing the holiday don't eat or drink during the daytime for the entire month of Ramadan. Holi involves people throwing brightly colored powders and water at each other. The holiday also often includes dying easter eggs, getting Easter baskets, and eating lots of chocolate bunnies. Many Christians in the United States go to church on Easter Sunday, then come home and have a big meal with family and friends. Passover includes the Seder original feast where the story of ancient Israelites moving out of Egypt is retold. Every holiday has its own traditions and significance. The Christian holiday Easter is coming up on April 4, and the Muslim holiday Ramadan based on the lunar calendar, so the date changes from year to year, will last all the way from mid-April to mid-May. There is also the Hindu festival of Holi on March 28, and 29th. One example is the Jewish festival of Passover, which began on Saturday.
