Religious and Spiritual Calendars 2016

Inspirational and Uplifting Calendars

Each religion and spiritual tradition has its own celebrations. These holy days or seasonal days are often linked to the movement of the moon and the sun instead of a specific date on the calendar. This means that keeping up with them requires a calendar which includes them.

In addition to this some religions, like Islam and Judaism, have a different calendar from the one used in the West (the Gregorian calendar). China too has its own calendar.

Change your life inside out

We take our attitude to life with us with every step we take. It can make or break a day. It can make or break a business deal or job interview. Our attitude helps or hinders us, depending in essence on whether we're capable of enjoying the sun when it shines and whether we have a plan...
