The Occasion of Diwali
Press Statement
October 31, 2024
I wish a happy Diwali to the more than one billion Hindus, Sikhs, Jains, and Buddhists, among others, who are celebrating the festival of lights. For many, the Diwali season represents the victory of light over darkness and the triumph of good over evil. It serves as a reminder of the ability of each and every one of us to bring more light into our communities.
We celebrate alongside families and friends all around the world – including millions of people here in the United States – who are gathering together, sharing sweets, decorating homes, and lighting diyas.
Reflecting on the strength that diversity brings our nation, we also take this occasion to reiterate the importance of freedom of religion or belief for all people everywhere.
