Spiritual Literacy Month is an annual observance celebrated in December. It was founded in 1996 by authors Frederic and Mary Brussat to promote respect for the world's religions and spiritual traditions by encouraging people to read sacred texts from all religions.

The month is an opportunity to deepen one's own faith and understanding of spirituality, as well as to learn about the spiritual beliefs of others. It is also a time to reflect on the meaning of life and our place in the world.

There are many ways to celebrate Spiritual Literacy Month. One way is to read a book about spirituality, faith, or religion. This could be a book from your own tradition, or it could be a book about another religion or spiritual practice.

Another way to celebrate is to attend a religious or spiritual service. This could be a service at your own place of worship, or it could be a service at another place of worship.

You could also celebrate Spiritual Literacy Month by spending time in nature, meditating, or simply reflecting on your own spiritual beliefs.

Here are some ideas for celebrating Spiritual Literacy Month:

  • Read a book about spirituality. There are many great books available on a variety of spiritual topics. You could read a book about your own tradition, or you could read a book about another religion or spiritual practice.

  • Attend a religious or spiritual service. This could be a service at your own place of worship, or it could be a service at another place of worship.

  • Spend time in nature. Nature can be a great place to connect with your spirituality. Go for a walk in the park, sit by a river or lake, or simply sit outside and enjoy the fresh air.

  • Meditate. Meditation is a great way to quiet your mind and connect with your inner spirit. There are many different types of meditation, so find one that works for you.

  • Reflect on your own spiritual beliefs. What do you believe about the meaning of life? What is your relationship to your higher power? Take some time to reflect on your own spiritual beliefs and what they mean to you.

However you choose to celebrate, Spiritual Literacy Month is a great time to focus on your spirituality and to learn more about the spiritual beliefs of others.
