Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and other major faiths often use lunar or lunisolar calendars to mark religious festivals and rituals. Months can begin with the sighting of a new moon, introducing variations based on geography and local conditions. Such distinctions can challenge multinational communities coordinating events like Ramadan or Passover. Syncretic societies learn to juggle multiple calendars, recognizing both civic and sacred milestones. Understanding why different faiths track time distinctly fosters interfaith respect and smoother cultural exchanges in an increasingly interconnected world.
