That chubby, smiling “Buddha” with the sack? Not the Buddha. Meet Budai – a joyful Chinese monk from 900 CE who became a symbol of abundance. Big vibes, but not Siddhartha. #MythBusting #ReligiousLiteracy #WorldReligions

Want to teach kids about #worldreligions? Bring the objects! 📿 A #yarmulke, a singing bowl, or a copy of the #Quran can make learning tangible – but skip the rituals. Show, don’t perform. It’s about education, not appropriation. #ReligiousLiteracy #EduTips

Today is Pentecost - 50 days after Easter, just like Shavuot is 50 after Passover. The story includes wind, fire, and speaking in tongues, and marks the start of the Christian Church. 🔥🌬️ #Pentecost #ReligiousLiteracy #WorldReligions4Kids

It's Hajj week! 🌍🕋 The Islamic pilgrimage includes circling the Kaaba, walking briskly between Safa & Marwa, praying at Mt. Arafat, & more. Every Muslim is expected to make the journey at least once if they’re able. Watch the reel to learn more! #Hajj2025

It’s Shavuot! Once an ag festival, now a celebration of receiving the Torah. Think late-night study, the Book of Ruth, and cheese blintzes. Also, fun fact: ancient Jews called it Pentecost (50 days after Passover – not Easter). #Shavuot #JewishHolidays

This week, Baha’is honor the Ascension of Baha’u’llah (d. 1892), their founder and a manifestation of the divine. His shrine in Israel is a sacred site, and the day is marked with prayer and remembrance. 🕊️ #Bahai #WorldReligions4Kids #KnowYourNeighbor
