This is a guide to the world's five major religions: it covers the rituals, traditions, holidays, and symbols of Hinduism, Judaism, Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam (religions are presented according to the number of followers). You will learn what karma is in Hinduism, what the lotus flower symbolizes in Buddhism, what is celebrated in Judaism during Passover, what holy water signifies for Christians, and which country has the largest Muslim population. Scenes from everyday life, presented in colorful "wimmelbilder" illustrations, immerse you in the atmosphere of different cultures so deeply that you can almost hear the hum of voices or smell the scents of the marketplace!
We live in an age of multiculturalism, so it is important to help children better understand the traditions and views of different people: both those they see every day and those who live on the other side of the globe. After all, this knowledge is what leads to acceptance and tolerance.
