Religious Calendar

May 2023

The calendar below, curated by staff at the Center for Ecumenical and Interreligious (CEIE) Engagement at Seattle University, is an excellent way to keep on top of religious high holy days and festivals as they go by. It is especially useful for those in interfaith vocations who need this information on a day-to-day basis.

For information on CEIE events listed on this calendar, checkout their Webinars, Workshops, and Courses page.

May and June mark the season of the Hopi Kachina Dances, in which Arizona Hopi celebrants represent various spirit-powers and perform ritual dances in open pueblo areas.  It is also the time of Yansa’altt, the season of berry blossoms—anticipating the berry harvest in summer, which is essential for survival in winter.
