Vaisakhi and Rama Navami Festivals

April 16, 2024

Vaisakhi is one of the most important dates in the Sikh calendar. It is celebrated between 13 – 14 April and commemorates the year that Sikishm was established back in 1699.

Rama Navami is a Hindu festival that commemorates the birth of Rama, as known as the seventh avatar of Vishnu and one of the revered deities in Hinduism. Rama is sought to be the symbol of righteousness, good conduct and virtue among Hindus.

A Vaisakhi and Rama Navami celebration will be taking place at City Hospital Chapel on Monday 22 April, and at Sandwell Chapel on Wednesday 24 April from 12pm – 2pm.

Colleagues are invited to meet our Hindu and Sikh Chaplains who will lead with short prayers. Refreshments will be available afterwards.
