Chaplain's Office, Bucknell University. This calendar is provided to alert you to the variety of celebrations and traditions we have among us at Bucknell. Some religious groups are only two or three students, while others have over 1,000 adherents.
Holidays listed in bold type are the most important holidays of our larger religious groups.
Please avoid scheduling required events, meetings, or assessments on these days, if possible. Other holidays are listed for your information and so that you may acknowledge the celebrations of students from these traditions and cultures. This festival celebrates Rama's victory over Ravana. Yom Kippur Jewish Day of Atonement, a very solemn day, devoted to fasting, prayer, and repentance. The festival of the Divine Mother, Durga, celebrates victory over the demon Mahisasura.
