(Pic: oldhaminterfaith.org.uk) Followers of all faiths including Muslims, Christians, Jews and Hindus would normally come together to celebrate the annual Festival of Light in Oldham, but due to Covid-19 restrictions this year’s event was cancelled. The night of festivities did not take place and a video was produced from previous events and was shared online instead. It is a celebration of Diwali, Hanukkah, Christmas and the Muslim festival of Eid. It is organised by the Oldham Interfaith Forum. Father Phil Sumner, trustee of the Forum said: “Since 2003 in the first week of December we have held a multi-faith celebration with contributions from all religions, including brass bands playing Christmas carols, nasheed artists and Indian drumming and dancing. Prior to lockdown we hosted between 400-500 guests annually.”
