The International Day of the Roma is celebrated worldwide each year on April 8 to raise awareness about the most pressing issues for the Roma people and to celebrate Romani culture. In 2011, Presbyterian Women will join this celebration and is publishing this resource, “Ten Days of Prayer and Thanksgiving for Roma,” to aid in the celebration.
For each of the 10 days, this resource focuses on a different European country, each with a Roma presence. A Roma Christian or mission coworker from (or with intimate knowledge of) each country has written a prayer and overview of that country.
Take this opportunity to learn about the Roma and to join in prayer beginning on March 30 or at any time.
