Your task is to create
a Calendar which is split into 12 months, you will need to do this using a
piece of plain A3 paper.
Within each of the months you MUST
have at least one religious festival - this can be from any of the world
religions.
You must describe what happens at 3
of the festivals in detail.
The calendar is also your own
personal calendar, so you should include also such events as your own
birthday or members of your family's birthdays as well as important dates
you are looking forward to - maybe your summer holidays?
Enclosed are links to religious
festivals but you will gain additional marks for your own research
together with your description as to what the festivals mean to their
followers.
