Arriving in a new environment is always challenging. The language and food are unfamiliar, and daily life follows different rules. Your appearance, clothing, and language set you apart. Your own customs, rituals, and memories thus become sources of comfort. The search for common ground begins.

Religious communities play a vital role in this. In a foreign country, they offer a sense of stability and a connection to one’s origins. Through encounters, a new sense of belonging emerges. This is most clearly expressed in the festivals celebrated across all major religions.
