 Both Protestants and Catholics observe certain festivals commemorating events in the life of Christ.Of these, the two most important are Christmas, which commemorates the Birth of Jesus, and Easter, which marks his resurrection.A celebration of interfaith dialogue, the first Festival of Faiths was held in Louisville Kentucky, and in 1998, Senator Wendell Ford passed a resolution in the United States Congress “to express the sense of the Senate that the Louisville Festival of Faiths should be commended and should serve as model for similar festivals in other communities throughout the United States.” Several cities throughout the United States now host interfaith festivals including Kansas City, Kansas , St Louis, Missouri , Indianapolis, Indiana  and Cincinnati, Ohio.
