Ramadan, Lent and Chinese New Year

Our thanks to Dom, Jago, Ted, Iqra and Amara for two fabulous presentations on Lent and Ramadan. We discovered that, together with Chinese New Year, all three events are special times when people pause and reset. 

We realised that they remind us to stop and think about how we behave, let go of bad habits, try to be kinder and better and start fresh in a new way. We learnt that people might fast, give things up, clean their homes, pray, or set goals.

They also spend time with family and community, helping and sharing with others.

Even though these celebrations come from different cultures, they all teach the same idea: Take a moment, improve yourself, and begin again so this week's reflection is:

What helps you to be a better person?
