Celebrate Earth Day Abrahamitically
Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth’s environment.
Earth Day is celebrated on April 22nd or on Equinox.
It was founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson (D-Wisconsin) as an environmental teach-in in 1970
and is celebrated in many countries every year.
The first Earth Day was in 1970.
Earth Day is in spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere.
The United Nations celebrates Earth Day each year on the spring equinox, which is often 20 March.
This is a tradition which was founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969.
The United Nations first celebrated Earth Day on the spring equinox in 1971.
This was also the first time ever that the United Nations celebrated Earth Day.
The first Earth Day on the spring equinox was also in 1970.
The Abrahamic religions – also known as Abrahamic faiths, Abrahamic traditions, religions of Abraham and semitic religions -
are historically the world’s three primary monotheistic faiths of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, which share a common origin and values.
For some 1,300 years their histories and thought have been intertwined.
They are considered inextricably linked to one another because of a ‘family likeness’ and a certain commonality in theology.
They are faiths that recognize a spiritual tradition identified with Abraham.
The sacred narratives of all three of these religions feature many of the same figures, histories and places in each, although they often present them with slightly different roles, perspectives and meanings.
Today, there are an estimated 3.8 billion followers of these three Abrahamic religions, accounting for more than half of the world’s population.
Even Unitarians and Bahai are monotheistic religions and could join Abrahamic (Abrahamitic) feasts once a calendar year. - Other religions could be guests on those Abrahamic events.
Celebrate Earth Day interfaith – interreligious – and monotheistic by joining together in the sight of our mutual god:
Let’s read Holy Scriptures together, let’s pray together, let’s spend a festive day with each other and let’s hope together – for our planet Earth and for a mankind living in peace.”

Celebrating Abrahamitically
As a gesture of mutual politeness
and respecting each other
we – Jews, Christians and Moslems -
can create a monotheistic Abrahamitic celebration
for our 1 God once in a calendar year -
for – the 1 God is bigger
than every estimation
„Abrahamitic religions“
include Judaism, Christianity and Islam
as a whole in order of chronological origin.
These three religions derive from the legendary person
„Abraham“ and developed their various monotheistic
traditions from this common root.
As a gesture of mutual politeness
and respecting each other
we – Jews, Christians and Moslems -
can create a monotheistic Abrahamitic celebration
for our 1 God once in a calendar year:
Each of our religions taking part
can put in their ideas and own values,
and the realization of the program
in this coming together yearly
can be prepared commonly in respecting
and watching each others religous traditions.
Traditional ideas like “Thanking God for His Creation”,
„a Thanksgiving to God for a Good Harvest“, or
„Joy about a New Starting Calendar Year“,
and actual matters of concern like „Asking God for Peace“,
or old monotheistic feasts and
ancient religious cultural possessions
could be contents of these festive meetings yearly.
Other religions could be invited as guests
to „Celebrating Abrahamitically“.
The 1 God, who is infinite and transcendental,
who is bigger than every religion,
which wants to describe and to determine Him,
this 1 God is to be to festively comply
with our common monotheistic adoration.
The creation of God, His creatures, we humans,
in special we Abrahamitic people
– Mosaic, Christian and Islamic –
may seek the conscious relationship
to our 1 God intentionally together.
Let us – Jews, Christians and Moslems – collect together
turning to Him in „Celebrating Abrahamitically“
once in a calendar year.
For … the 1 God is bigger …
