People from two faiths, their bond developed during a series of intellectual discussions, met Sunday in Southwest Portland to celebrate two upcoming religious holidays. Purim, which falls this year on Saturday, is a Jewish holiday rooted in joy. It is a time to revel in friendship and contemplate the enduring lessons of perseverance and endurance. Holi, falling this year a week from Monday, is a joyous Hindu holiday. It celebrates the end of winter and the coming of spring, a visible way show that good triumphs over evil. 📸: mark_w_graves #holi #purim #interfaith #celebration #portland #portlandoregon #portland #theoregonian
