Islamic Festivals. Islamic festivals are widely celebrated in India, and sometimes they 
are influenced by local customs. One of the most important holidays is (aka Ramzan-Eid), that 
marks the end of the month of fasting and it is celebrated by wearing new clothes, visiting family 
and friends, and exchanging gifts. Eid-at-Adha, also known as the Greater Eid (or the Feast of 
the Sacrifice) is directly connected with biryani. It commemorates the willingness of Ibraham to 
sacrifice his son Ishamel. Lots of animals get slaughtered, and the meat is consumed by the 
families and the people in need. Lastly, the Islamic New Year, that commences with the month 
of Muharram, the second holiest month after Ramadan. It is a month of mourning – 
commemorating the death of Prophet Muhammad's grandson – and it is not an event to be 
blatantly celebrated. [19] 
Christianity came to India around the 1st century, when the missionary Saint Thomas 
reached India and converted many people in the south of the country. Roman Catholicism 
arrived with Vasco da Gama in 1498. Nowadays, thanks to the activity of the many missionaries 
that reached the subcontinent during the 19th century, Christianity is a widespread religion, that 
accounts for about the 28 million followers. The Manarcard Cathedral is one of the most famous 
pilgrim sites in India; while the St. Thomas Cathedral Basilica contains the tomb of Saint 
Thomas, one of the original twelve apostle of Jesus. [20]
