Interfaith Calendar

I was reading that in addition to being Good Friday ...
some other religions are celebrating their own special days.
I found this Interfaith Calendar that specifically talks about
March 20th and March 21st having Unique Calendar Events.

Most noteably it is Purim for our Jewish brothers and sisters.
Also found Judaism 101 site which explains Purim.
"It commemorates a time when the Jewish people living in Persia
were saved from extermination." (story told in bible book Esther)
