National Trust 'Inclusivity And Wellbeing' Calendar Omits Christian Festivals
//National Trust members have complained about a charity calendar that excludes Christmas and Easter - while including other religions' festivals.
The 'inclusivity and wellbeing' calendar, which has been provided for volunteers, includes Hinduism's Diwali, and Islam's Eid and Ramadan.//
It's inclusive - except for those it excludes. What was that about charity beginning at home?

The strange fact is that 2024 is 1445/6 in the muslim calendar, 2080 in the hindu calendar, and 5784/5(that's a long time) in the jewish calendar. A calender showing 2024 is useless to any of them! It is a Gregorian calendar, the internationally accepted civil calendar used in Western Christendom. Why then exclude the festivals that only appertain to the calendar?
No I don't that is your twist. I argue that the majority of people who do use the calendar have had their religious festivals removed for perverse reasons beyond understanding for normal people. You do not know when Lent, Good Fiday, or Whitsun is in 2024 do you?! You will need to look it up. Would it be a good thing henceforth to remove muslim and hindu religious dates from the Christian/Gregorian calendar so as not to confuse the poor souls? Are Christian festivals listed in their own calendars? If not why not?
